Calzones

A fun idea for kids is to make the calzone recipe below and make it into a snake by assembling it as usual and at the end, turning the snake body to resemble a snake's. Add olive slices for the eyes and cut out a slithering tongue from pepperoni.
My mother-in-law gave me this wonderful recipe and it's one of our favorite things to eat right now. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. This is what your dough should look like before you add sauce and toppings. Fold strips over one another and pinch to seal.
1 1/4 c. hot water
3 c. flour
1 t. dry milk
1 1/2 T. sugar
1 t. salt
2 t. yeast
Combine water and yeast until dissolved. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Let raise for an hour. Roll out into a rectangle onto a cookie sheet. Place pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese down the middle of the dough. Cut slits down each side and fold over middle and pinch ttight to seal. Bake @ 400 until it starts browning. Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, return to oven until golden brown.
