Calzone Ingredients

Method

Calzone Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce on one half of the dough circle, leaving about an inch from the edge. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Add your choice of three fillings from the options provided; spread them evenly over the cheese.

  5. 5

    Season and Fold

    Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Fold the other half of the dough over the fillings to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.

  6. 6

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil to promote browning.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Place the calzone on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
