Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pre-made pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°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!
