Spinach Calzones

Spinach Calzones

  • 1 loaf frozen whole wheat bread dough
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, about 1/2 pound
  • 12 to 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Spray a bread pan with Pam. 
  • Place frozen dough in the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise.
  • Defrost frozen spinach in a medium bowl. 
  • Remove spinach to squeeze out any excess moisture. 
  • In the same bowl you used to defrost spinach, combine eggs with ricotta cheese, nutmeg and spinach.
  • Stir in mozzarella. 
  • Divide bread dough into quarters and roll into four 8-inch circles. 
  • Cover half of each dough circle with a quarter of the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
  • Fold dough over the filling to form a turnover. 
  • Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal. 
  • Spray a baking sheet with Pam and place calzones on it. 
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until calzones are puffed and a deep golden brown.
