Calzones or Pizza Pockets

My kids love these because just like personal pizzas you can personalize them for each child. I took the quick and easy way tonight, but I have used my pizza dough recipe to make them as well. If you make your own dough you can make them wheat which are just as yummy.

Ok, all you need is:
2 cans crescent rolls (to make 4 pizza pockets)
mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup melted butter with garlic salt sprinkled in (about 1/2 a teaspoon)
whatever toppings you want to fill it withTake 4 of the triangles and press them together to form a rectangle. Do not roll them together and knead! It makes the dough tough and you lose some of the flakiness. Press firmly with your fingers to seal the seams and then press out to make it look like a rectangle.
Brush the melted butter all over the dough, then top with your toppings. My kids prefer cheese and pepperoni. (I have also added peppers, mushrooms and pineapple in the past)Roll the dough up, or fold it like a burrito and press the edges together.Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
