Calzone Filling

Method

Calzone Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into two large circles.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Calzones

    On one half of each dough circle, spread a layer of ricotta cheese, then add the beef mixture and top with mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

  4. 4

    Bake the Calzones

    Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

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