How to Make The Versatile Calzone

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 6-8 equal circles (depending on desired calzone size).
  3. Divide your chosen fillings evenly among the dough circles. For each calzone, spoon filling onto one half of each circle.
  4. Fold the other half of the circle over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges firmly to seal, pressing with a fork to create a decorative edge.
  5. Brush the tops of the calzones with olive oil or beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later!
