Directions
-
Preheat your convection oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions, green peppers, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli until tender-crisp; set aside to cool slightly.
-
Lightly grease a 7-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle slightly larger than your pan.
-
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and gently pat it to fit the shape.
-
Spread the Bacon 'n Cheddar cheese sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
-
Spoon the sautéed vegetables over one half of the cheese-covered dough.
-
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
-
Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the calzone and prevent leaking.
-
Prick the top of the calzone several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
