Instructions
For each calzone, press two dinner rolls together. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 6-in. x 3-1/2-in. oval.
Spread 1/4 cup sauce to within 1/2 in. of edge. Top with 1/4 cup cheese, 1 tablespoon green pepper, 1 to 2 teaspoons olives if desired and 4 pepperoni slices. Press two more rolls together and roll into a slightly larger oval.
Place over filling; firmly press edges to seal.
Cut another roll in half and roll out to 1/8-in. thickness.
Cut a 3-in. x 1/4-in. strip.
Place lengthwise down center of calzone. To form laces, cut four 1-in. x 1/8-in. strips; place across center strip.
Cut two 4-in. x 1/4-in. pieces of dough.
Place one across each end of calzone, curving to form a crescent shape.
Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Lightly brush tops with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 16-17 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut calzones in half before serving.
