Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup marinara sauce plus extra for dipping
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz sliced pepperoni
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano optional
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the marinara sauce over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Layer the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni over the sauce.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the top with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Let the calzone cool slightly before slicing and serving with extra marinara sauce.

Notes

Feel free to customize your calzone with additional toppings, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
