Confession

   I have a confession to make. I bought and used dough from the grocery store ::gasp::. I know - it's embarassing. I had intentions of making my own dough for calzone and stromboli while we had company in town...but we had such a fun and exhausting day that I was too tired to mess with it. So, I picked up a few bags of dough from the publix bakery (good substitute).

   We made a chicken and broccoli cheddar stromboli - 3 diced chicken breasts, cooked; 1 can broccoli cheddar condensed soup; 1 head of cooked broccoli; 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and a 1/3 cup milk. I used a technique with the dough that I saw on my new favorite website "Pinterest.com". You roll out the dough into a rectangle, and then cut slices on the sides, leaving a solid piece of dough in the center for your filling. Pour the filling in the middle and lace the strips over each other like so:

Bake @ 375 on a pizza stone for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and easy to lift with spatula.

   For the calzone filling - 16 oz. ricotta; 8 oz. shredded mozarella; one egg; garlic powder; salt and pepper to taste. Roll the dough out into a large circle. Pour cheese filling onto one side (half) and fold over other side, pinching to seal the dough like so:

Bake @ 375 on a pizza stone for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and easy to lift with spatula.
