Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup Cooked ham
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Spoon the meat and cheese mixture over the pizza sauce, spreading it evenly.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp the edges using the tines of a fork to ensure it is completely sealed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the calzone to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 3 small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top with olive oil for added crispness and flavor.
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the calzone from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Three Meat Calzone with extra pizza sauce on the side, if desired.
