Pinwheel Italian Calzones

I would use my fav pizza dough for this one. Gonna try it very soon.


Ingredients

1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped pepperoni
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell peppers
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
1 (14 ounce) jars pizza sauce

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper and onion. Set aside.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the remaining perforations together to seal. Spread the filling evenly onto the rectangles. Roll up the filling inside the dough starting at the short side. Slice each finished roll into four slices, and place cut side down onto a baking sheet.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. While the pinwheels are baking, warm the pizza sauce. Serve the pinwheels with pizza sauce in small cups for dipping.

I some how am not a pizza person. I eat it but would rather have something else. My wife loves it so we do have it often. I have copied your recipe, I may make some for her (and me). Thanks CF

What Janie didn't tell you - you can use alfredo or bechamel sauce as well - and you can play with the ingredients so much that this recipe is definite keeper - using any type of bread/biscuit dough, sauce and fillings.
