Frozen pizza crust dough is the base for this Italian favorite, but you can use homemade Two-Ingredient Dough instead. The recipe also calls for canned tomato sauce, but you can whip up your own, too. This calzone uses artichoke hearts for extra flavor. But, like pizza, the variations of what to add are limited only by your imagination. If you're not a fan of artichokes, try ham, chicken, sausage, spinach, peppers, whatever you'd prefer. Make ahead and freeze for easy access or, better yet, host a calzone-making night and have guests stuff their own for their perfect creation.
