Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ðF (220ðC) and grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Cut the dough into squares, depending on the desired size of the calzones.
  4. Prepare your filling by combining cooked sausage, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and mushrooms in a skillet, or mix spinach, ham, Swiss cheese, and green onions in a bowl.
  5. Divide the filling evenly among the dough squares, placing it on one half of each square.
  6. Brush the edges of the dough with water, then fold the empty half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  7. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the calzones, ensuring no filling leaks out.
  8. Place the sealed calzones on the prepared baking sheet and prick the tops with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  9. Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water and brush the mixture over the tops of the calzones.
  10. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
  11. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and crispy.
  12. Let the calzones stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
  13. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
