How to Make Broccoli And Cheese Calzone

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup chopped cooked broccoli florets.
  3. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch circle.
  5. Spread the cheese and broccoli filling evenly over one half of the dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border.
  6. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, pressing firmly along the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
  7. Transfer the calzone to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil (optional).
  8. Sprinkle the top with an additional 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the calzone is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
