Pita Calzones [Clean]
Ingredients
- pita
- pizza mix-in's of choice
- mozzarella cheese
- Sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
-
Take out as many pitas as you need (rough gauge=1 pita per person)
-
Collect all your ingredients that you would like to use for your calzone. Each can be different if people have different tastes. (Mine has ham and summer squash)
-
Place your ingredients into a bowl (each person can have their own bowl if making different ones)
-
Add your cheese to the bowl (I used 2 T mozzarella)
-
Add your sauce* (clean marinara works great), but only add tablespoon by tablespoon until all ingredients are coated. (You do not want it to be very wet)
-
Make a slice through the side of the pita and use a spoon to carefully add the mixed ingredients
-
Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
-
Place your pita on a plate, slice in half if desired (or even easier leave it whole), eat and enjoy! Just be careful because the inside will be hot!
Recipe Notes
Clean marinara is an easy sauce option. If you don't have it, you can do what I did and make your own by combining a couple tablespoons of tomato sauce with 1/2 t minced garlic, and a few dashes of oregano and basil.
