Ingredients:
1 16-ounce loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 slightly beaten egg
1 15-ounce carton low-fat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Nonstick cooking spray
1 8-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions:
Divide bread dough into 8 equal pieces. Place on a floured surface and cover
dough with a towel. Let dough rest while preparing filling.
For filling, in
a small covered saucepan cook onion and garlic in a small amount of boiling
water until onion is tender. Drain. Stir in spinach and the 1 teaspoon Italian
seasoning. In a bowl stir together egg, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese,
and Parmesan cheese.
Roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch circle. Spread
2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture over half of each circle, spreading to
within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Moisten edges
of dough with water. Fold each circle in half, pinching edges or pressing edges
together with a fork.
Prick tops with a fork. Lightly coat an extra large baking
sheet with nonstick cooking spray; place calzones on sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan stir together tomato sauce, the 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and the garlic salt. Heat through over medium heat. Serve with calzones.
