Calzone Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Divide the pizza dough into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on the size you want your calzones.

Step 3

Roll the dough into 1/4 inch thick ovals or rectangles.

Step 4

Place the sausage in a pan and cook according to package directions. Use a spatula to break up the cooked sausage into bite sized pieces.

Step 5

Add the bell peppers to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Step 6

Spread 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce onto one side of each piece of dough. Top with 1/4 cup cheese.

Step 7

Divide the sausage and pepper mixture evenly on top of the sauce. Top with pepperoni and an additional 1/4 cup of cheese.

Step 8

Fold the dough over and pinch to seal the edges. Use a sharp knife to cut 2-3 slits into the top of each calzone.

Step 9

Brush each calzone with the beaten egg.

Step 10

Place the calzones on the sheet pan. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Top with parsley, then serve immediately with remaining pizza sauce for dipping.
