Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a 7-inch (18cm) circle (about ¼-inch thick).
- Working with 1 dough round at a time, spread about 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce on one half of the circle.
- Top with 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese, about 6 pepperoni slices, and sprinkle with ¼ cup of mozzarella.
- Fold the empty side of the dough over the fillings and crimp edges to seal.
- Place the calzone on the baking sheet.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pizza dough, sauce, ricotta, pepperoni, and mozzarella, placing each calzone with some space between them on the pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 teaspoon of water.
- Brush the calzones lightly with egg wash.
- Cut 3 (about 1/2-inch long) slits in the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Immediately brush the hot calzones with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Serve with additional pizza sauce.
