Pepperoni Calzones

Pizza Bites or Small Calzones
Pizza dough store bought or homemade
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in cubes
Slices of pepperoni or pepperoni chunks
Ham chunks or ham cut up in small pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups pasta sauce

Roll pizza dough onto a floured surface and roll into a large rectangle. For easier handling cut in two batches. Cut into approximately 4 inch squares. On top of each square place a pepperoni and ham slice or chunk and a cheese cube. Wrap dough around meat, fold sides in and roll up. Press together. Place on cookie sheets. In small bowl mix olive oil and seasoning together. With pastry brush brush oil over pizza bites. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Use all dough and bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Use pasta sauce for dipping. These are great for kids lunches or easy freezer meals. They freeze well and can be taken out individually.
