*
Ingredients:
*
*1 can Refrigerated Pizza Dough
*1 pound Lean Hamburger, cooked/browned (165*F.) drained and rinsed
*1/2 packet Taco Seasoning
*1 tablespoon dry Minced Onions
*1/4 cup water
*Pizza or Marinara Sauce or even Ketchup
*Whole Olives, eyes for Mummy Calzones
*Cheddar Cheese or Mozzarella, grated
*1 Egg, beaten, egg wash for Mummy Calzones
*
Taco Pizza Roll:
*
After cooking hamburger add the taco seasoning, water and onions. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until onion are translucent, set aside.
*
Remove pizza Dough from the can, pressing out the dough using rolling-pin if needed. On the rolled out pizza dough start with the sauce, hamburger and cheese. (You can also leave off the sauce and use if for dipping the pizza rolls.)
*
Roll-up the dough into a log, like it looked before you unrolled the dough from the can except with the filling.
*
Slice into 1 – 1 1/2 inch slices (Dental floss works great for slicing/cutting the dough) like you would when you make cinnamon rolls.
*
Place the taco rolls on a Silpat covered 1/2 baking sheet or spray baking sheet with cooking spray and bake in a 400* F. oven for 10-12 minutes or until done.
*
Mummy Calzones:
*
Follow the taco pizza rolls instructions for hamburger mixture.
*
Remove pizza dough from the can but don’t un-roll the pizza dough. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices.
*
Then take the slices and roll the dough into balls, roll out the dough balls on a slightly floured surface into an oblong shape.
*
Add the sauce, hamburger and cheese to the center of the oblong dough, leaving the top and edges for cutting and folding over mummy calzone.
*
Then make horizontal cuts on the sides of the oblong dough, avoiding the topping strip and cut with a knife or pizza cutter 1/4- 1/2 inch cuts leaving a larger cut at the top and bottom.
*
Fold up the bottom of the mummy calzone, closing the bottom. Take a strip of dough from each side of the mummy and bring up the center of the toppings, crisscrossing/over-lapping the dough strips, working your way to the top of the mummy calzone.
*
Add the whole olive eyes before folding down the thicker top strip of dough, folding down around the olive eyes. Brush the mummy calzones with egg wash before baking.
*
Place mummy calzones on Silpat or cooking spray covered 1/2 baking sheet and bake in a 375*F. oven for 10-12 minutes or until done.
