Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, sage, rosemary, and garlic.
  3. Season the cheese mixture generously with salt and pepper, then mix well until smooth.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of water to create an egg wash.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 7-inch circles.
  6. Place about 3/4 cup of the cheese mixture onto one half of each dough circle.
  7. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash.
  8. Fold the empty half over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
  9. Press the edges firmly together to seal the calzone, using a fork if necessary.
  10. Brush the top of the calzones with the remaining egg wash.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
