Name: Classic Pizza Turnovers
Total time: 115 min
Ingredients: 2 lbs. pizza dough; 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese; 2 cups diced pepperoni; 1 cup cooked bulk sausage; 2 cups sliced mushrooms; 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced; 1½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese; ½ tsp. salt; ½ tsp. ground black pepper; 3 Tbsp. cornmeal

Serves: 24

Ingredients

2 lbs. pizza dough
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups diced pepperoni
1 cup cooked bulk sausage
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
3 Tbsp. cornmeal

Directions

Step 1
Separate dough into three pieces. Place segments on a heavily floured work surface and roll each one into an 8" circle.
Step 2
Spread 1 cup of the mozzarella over the sauce on each dough circle. (You will have cheese over the entire circle.) Combine the pepperoni and sausage in a bowl. Distribute one-third of the meat mixture over half of each dough circle, leaving edges bare. Follow that with one-third of the mushrooms and peppers and one-third of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Fold dough over the filling to form a crescent. Press dough edges together, brushing edges with a little water if necessary. Sprinkle cornmeal over a baking sheet and place turnovers on the cornmeal. Cover with a damp towel and let stand 1 hour.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 5
With a sharp knife, cut two slits in the tops of the turnovers. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
