Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a clean surface, dust with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter.
In a large bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spoon the filling mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges of the dough together firmly to seal, and crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of the calzone with the beaten egg to create a shiny, golden crust.
Using a sharp knife, cut 2-3 small slits on the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the calzone is golden brown and the crust is fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow the calzone to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sun-Dried Tomato Calzone with a marinara dipping sauce if desired!
