Ham and Pineapple Calzones
December 28, 2009 – 6:07 pmAnother variation on calzones – these are made with pre-cooked ham and pineapple. Another winner! I used some leftover ham that I’d chunked up and stuck in the freezer for this one, but the store also sells packages of ham in little bite-sized chunks that would work well for this too.

Ham and Pineapple Calzones
Serves 4
non-stick cooking spray
1 pound ham, cut into chunks
1 8-oz can pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 small can tomato sauce (8 oz)
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp shredded fresh basil
⅛ tsp onion powder
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, add the ham and drained pineapple chunks. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine.
Unroll the pizza dough and divide into four equal pieces. Stretch each piece slightly into a rectangle. Spoon one fourth of the filling onto one of the dough rectangles and fold the dough over the top. Pinch the edges together, folding inwards, to seal the calzone. Repeat with the other dough pieces.
Place the calzones on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
