MUFFULETTA CALZONES  
Pre-notes:
2009-08-13 Pulled from Southern Living, though not yet tried.
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons EVOO
1 cup jarred mixed pickled vegetables, rinsed and finely chopped
7 oz. shredded provolone-Italian cheese blend
8 thin slices Genoa salami, chopped (about 1/8 lb.)
1/2 cup diced cooked ham
1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives
1 lb bakery pizza dough
2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Procedures:
  1. Preheat oven to 425o. Stir together 1 T EVOO, pickled veggies and next 4 ingredients.
  2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 7" circle.
  3. Place 2 dough circles on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon vegetable mixture evenly on top of circles, mounding mixture on dough and leaving a 1" border.
  4. Moisten edges of dough with water, and top with remaining 2 dough circles. Press and crimp edges to seal. Cut small slits on tops to allow steam to escape.
  5. Brush with remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake at 425o for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes:
Rinsing the pickled vegetables removes some of the brine, making them a little less salty.
Roll each piece of dough a little bit at a time so it can rest and stretch a lot easier.
