Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza Dough
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- ½ Red Onion diced
- ½ Green Bell Pepper diced
- 24 Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
For the Topping:
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Divide the pizza dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread pizza sauce over one half of each dough circle, leaving space around the edges.
- Top with ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
- Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cut a few small slits in the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes
If you use pizza dough that comes in the sheet form, use a sharp knife to cut out the circles instead of rolling it out again. Make sure that the edges are sealed tightly. The water helps form a tight seal to prevent it from coming apart while cooking it.
These are best served fresh but the leftovers can be stored for up to 5 days as long as they are refrigerated in an airtight container.
I recommend reheating them in the oven to make the outside crispy again.
