Shape and Fill the Calzone
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Place a generous amount of cheese filling on one half of the circle, and add your choice of toppings. Fold the other half over and press the edges to seal.

Bake the Calzone
