meatball calzone (a la rita)

Meatball and peppers calzone
1 package fresh pizza dough (we used Trader Joe's whole wheat)
8 oz can no-salt tomato sauce
1/2 cup sauteed diced onion
6 red and gold baby bell peppers, with stem and seeds removed, sauteed
6 cooked meat balls
3/4 cup shredded cheese (we used Trader Joe's Lite Mexican Mix)

1, dust pizza stone with semolina flour or corn meal, roll out dough on pizza stone to form 10-12" circle.

2. spread 3 oz of tomato sauce over dough.
cover half of dough with rest of ingredients, leaving a 1" border clear.

3. fold dough over filled half and crimp edges.
bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees until golden, check after 15 minutes and if calzone is not browning evenly, rotate the calzone in oven.
