Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 0.5 cup Bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into four equal portions and roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one side of each dough circle, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 5

Top the marinara sauce with an even layer of the cheese mixture, followed by pepperoni slices, Italian sausage, bell peppers, and mushrooms.

Step 6

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, then crimp them with a fork for added security.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each calzone with the egg wash to encourage browning during baking.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit or two on the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the calzones from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
