Breakfast Rolls & Calzones (homemade fast food)

These breakfast rolls and calzones are perfect to pop into the microwave as your kids head out the door late for bus or before the soccer game.  The best part is they can serve themselves in 90 seconds or so!

Breakfast Rolls:
  1. 1 recipe of pizza dough: See http://chezlittley.blogspot.com/2011/02/homemade-pizza.html
  2. Cut the dough and roll into balls about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  3. Flour dough ball generously and roll out very thin. Your dough should look like a mini pizza shell.
  4. Place your favorite scrambled eggs in the middle of the dough.
  5. Gather the ends of the dough and pinch to form a ball.
  6. Lay rolls seam side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
  7. Brush with egg wash.
  8. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes.
  9. When done, transfer to cooling rack and pop the entire rack into the freezer.
  10. When frozen, bag, label and stick in the freezer.
  11. From the freezer, microwave on high for 60-90 seconds (depending on your microwave).
 Calzones
  1. 1 recipe of pizza dough (optional: add 2 T onion powder and 1 t oregano to dough mix): See http://chezlittley.blogspot.com/2011/02/homemade-pizza.html
  2. Cut the dough and roll into balls about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  3. Flour dough ball generously and roll out very thin.
  4. Your dough should look like a mini pizza shell;  Spread on as much pizza sauce as you like but too much will make the calzone difficult to handle.
  5. Add your favorite pizza toppings on half of the pie.
  6. Fold dough over creating a half-moon shape.
  7. Roll up the seams and press with a fork to seal.
  8. Brush with egg wash.
  9. Bake at 500 degrees for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  10. When done, transfer to cooling rack and pop the entire rack into the freezer.
  11. When frozen, bag, label and stick in the freezer for a quick meal on the run.
  12. From the freezer, microwave on high for 90-120 seconds (depending on your microwave).
