Ingredients

1 ball pizza dough try our recipe!
2 tbsp butter
4 tsp parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp salt
pepperoni
bell peppers
olives
ham sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). Prepare the baking surface by dusting lightly with flour or cornmeal.
If using homemade pizza dough, follow my no-knead dough directions up to the shaping step. Divide it into 4 balls and shape them into (4) 8"-10" circles.
Place ingredients on one side of each circle. Divide seasonings evenly and sprinkle over each. Fold the top over each and crimp the edges by pinching and folding over. Optional: Cut 2-3 small slits on the top to prevent bubbles.
Place on the prepared surface and bake for 10-12 minutes (watch to make sure the tops don’t burn).
Remove from oven when golden brown. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan. Cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

-This recipe makes 4 large calzones or 6 medium-sized calzones. It depends on how you divide the dough.

STORE baked Pizza Calzones in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. FREEZE by first placing them flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until frozen, then wrapping them in plastic wrap and storing them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

REHEAT after thawing frozen calzones in the fridge, then warming them in the microwave or oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
