Calzones are very similar to strombolis, but they are two different dishes. A Stromboli is made with square shaped pizza dough and then topped with toppings and rolled into a log and baked. A calzone uses round pizza dough that gets folded in half and baked.
Cook's Notes: A great easy party dish.  Add roasted red peppers to punch up the Stromboli's flavor.
Ingredients

• 1 Tube Thin Refrigerated Pizza Crust (I used a Pillsbury brand) 
• 3 TB. Dijon mustard
• 5 slices of sliced ham
• 5 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 green onion, minced
• Handful of spinach leaves, stems removed 
• Optional 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Sesame seeds
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese or  garlic bread seasoning mixture

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread Dijon mustard evenly on top to one inch along all the sides.
• Add sliced ham and cheese as shown in the photo. Tear one piece of ham and one piece of cheese to fill out the sides. 
  
• Drain and mince 1/2 of 12 oz. jar roasted red peppers about one cup. Pat peppers really dry on paper towels before adding to the Stromboli.  
•  Place peppers down the middle of the pizza crust. Top with green onions, spinach leaves and bacon if using. 
  
   Roll the pizza dough up (long side) to center and repeat other long side to center.  
  
• Flip the roll over so seam is down on the baking sheet. 
• Whisk one egg with 1/2 tsp. water. Brush top and sides with egg wash. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese or garlic bread seasoning and sesame seeds.
  
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is golden and bottom is browned. 
• Cool 5-8 minutes before cutting. Use a serrated knife. Makes 10 servings.
