Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded mozzarella, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.
Spoon an equal amount of the ham and cheese mixture onto one side of each dough rectangle, leaving about 1/2 inch of space along the edges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each dough rectangle with the egg wash. Fold the empty side of the dough over the filling to create a crescent or half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly together to seal, then crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.
Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and use a sharp knife to cut two small slits on the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.
Bake the calzones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
