Whip up a warm and cheesy dinner in record time with these irresistible 10 Minute Calzones!

Using pre-made pizza dough, these homemade calzones come together in just 10 minutes from start to finish, making them an ideal weeknight meal or snack. The recipeβs simplicity doesnβt compromise on flavor, thanks to a pinch of Italian seasoning and a light brush of olive oil for extra richness.

Whether youβre craving a no-fuss appetizer or a quick main course, this recipe promises big flavors with minimal effort.
Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a 6-7 inch circle using a rolling pin.
Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning on top.
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges together firmly, then crimp the edges with a fork to seal the calzones.
Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve with additional marinara sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
