Ingredients

• 1/2 pound pizza dough, cut in 2 pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Stretch each piece of dough into a 7-inch circle. Combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon half of the mixture into the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over to form a half moon. Roll the edges and crimp, being sure to seal well and place into the wells.

Cook 7 minutes or until evenly browned. Remove and serve with tomato sauce, if desired.
