Calzone Filling

Method

Calzone Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 10-inch circle.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked sausage, chopped spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Calzone

    Place half of the filling mixture on one half of the dough circle, leaving a border. Fold the other half over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the calzone on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the calzone cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce if desired.
