9. Homemade Calzone, attempt #2

It turned out pretty well! I froze half the dough I made last time and it defrosted nicely and rolled out like a dream.

Learning from my first go-round, I rolled the dough thinner this time and used more stuffing. Also used a big bowl to cut a perfect circle of dough so it looked neater.

Attempt 3 should be perfect. I didn't use egg in the ricotta mixture this time, or do an egg wash, because I'm running low on eggs. Found out they really do make a big difference in the texture of the cheese mix. It was still yummy.

Sautéed veggies and ham together, and then sandwiched them between thick layers of the cheese mix (ricotta, mozzarella, a little cheddar, parsley) before folding and sealing it up.
