Calzone Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Filling

    Spread ricotta cheese on one half of the dough, leaving a border. Layer with pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the top.

  3. 3

    Fold and Seal

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.

  4. 4

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil to give it a golden color when baked.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
