STUFFED PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Roll and stretch out the risen dough on a floured work surface into a rope about 31 inches long. Press a rolling pin into the dough to create a trench and roll it to a rectangle about 3 inches wide.
• Keeping a 1/2-inch border on each long side of the dough, smear the remaining dough with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread the surface with a nice thin layer of the Arrabbiata Sauce, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, mozzarella and pepperoni. Arrange the string cheese pieces on top in a double line. Fold the long sides of the dough up over the center (over the string cheese) and pinch the edges together well so there's no leakage. Bring the ends together to form a circle.
• Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil. Carefully transfer the dough circle to the prepared baking sheet, flipping it over before putting it on the sheet so the seam side is down. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a board to rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Arrange the tomato slices and basil leaves in concentric circles in the middle of the pizza crust ring and serve with a dish of the remaining Arrabbiata Sauce on the side for dipping.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot and add the olive oil. Throw in the red pepper flakes and onions, give them a stir and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add a pinch of sugar and some salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

STUFFED PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and the sausage. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Toss in the chopped spinach or escarole, and cook, stirring, until tender and wilted, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and scrape into a bowl to cool. When the sausage mixture is cooled, stir in the ricotta.
• Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Using a 4 1/2-inch round, cut out as many circles as you can, rerolling the dough to get more circles. You should have about eighteen.
• Fill each circle with about 2 tablespoons of the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with water, then fold over and crimp edges together with a fork. Poke holes in the top of each calzone. Place on the baking sheets, and brush the tops of the calzones lightly with olive oil. Set the baking sheets with the calzones in the oven, rotating the pans front to back halfway through baking, until calzones are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
