When I was in high school we used to buy raw pizza dough and make calzones after church. It's one of the memories I really treasure from my high school years. One of the best things about calzones (which my America's Test Kitchen book described as "half a pizza folded over on itself") is that you can customize them any way you want!
I love plain old cheese, without sauce in it (though this time I added broccoli, to make it a little healthier. Geoff enjoys sausage, pepperoni, things of that nature that I usually turn my nose up. This is the best of both worlds for us!
Start with a basic pizza dough. I'd write that all out, but it really isn't difficult to find in any good cookbook, so I won't bother with that.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes (another excellent thing about this recipe is that you don't have to wait for the dough to rise! So if you forgot to start this at 5 pm, like me, you don't have to wait until 8 to eat!)
Divide the dough into two equal parts (I halved the dough recipe, so if you don't do that you'll want to quarter the dough so your calzones aren't huge). On half the piece of dough put your ingredients. Fold over, seal the edges (this is really important to prevent leakage!) and bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes.

I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
