Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce can Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Cooked Italian sausage (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup Bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Lightly flour your work surface and use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a 5-6 inch circle.
Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara or pizza sauce on one half of each biscuit dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Add your desired fillings, such as pepperoni slices, cooked sausage, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Be careful not to overfill.
Fold the biscuit dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges firmly together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the egg wash over the tops of the calzones to help them brown and develop a golden crust.
Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional marinara or pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
