Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 red onion sliced thin
  • 2tbsp unsalted butter
  • Uncooked pizza dough (enough for 1 pizza or ½ of PPJ's easy pizza dough recipe)
  • 1½cup marinara sauce
  • 3oz goat cheese
  • 1cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 large egge beaten
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 425ºF. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  2. Place butter in a medium pan over medium heat and add onion. Cook slowly until caramelized - about 30 to 40 minutes.
  3. While onions are caramelizing, divide dough into 4 equal parts. Press or roll each into 6" to 8" circles. You want the dough to be about ¼" thick so that it can hold up when folding with ingredients inside.
  4. When onions are done, place 2 to 3tbsp of marina in the center of each dough disc. Top with ¼ of the onion, ¼ of the goat cheese and 5 to 6 spinach leaves. Brush ½ of edge with egg wash and fold dough over, folding the bottom edge up over the top to seal. Set on prepared sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
  5. Brush all calzones with egg wash and place in oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until calzones are golden and dough is cooked. Serve with leftover marinara.
