### DIRECTIONS
**1.** Divide dough into 8 portions. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add sausage. Cook until brown and crumbly; drain fat. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet.
**2.** Stir onion, garlic, basil, oregano and tomato sauce into skillet; simmer for 10 minutes. Roll each dough piece into a 5-inch circle. Spoon sausage mixture onto each circle; sprinkle with cheeses.
**3.** Moisten edges of dough with water. Fold dough over to enclose filling; press to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet.
**4.** Beat egg with milk. Brush over calzones. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

### Make It Quicker
* Warm any leftover Italian-style tomato sauce in the microwave. Use as a quick dip for the calzones.
* The tines of a fork are the most efficient tool for sealing the dough and preventing the filling from leaking.
