Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, buffalo sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 4

Spread the chicken mixture over one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border at the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing over the chicken mixture.

Step 6

Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp the edges with a fork to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.

Step 7

Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the calzone with the egg wash for a golden, shiny crust.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make 3 small slits on top of the calzone to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the calzone is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with extra ranch dressing or buffalo sauce on the side.
