1 ball pizza dough My go-to Pizza Dough Recipe
2 TB Olive oil or my recipe for The olive oil baste you’ll want to use on everything
1 jar pizza sauce
1 bag mozzarella cheese
1 stick pepperoni, sliced thin
2 TB Everything bagel seasoning
Directions
- Take pizza dough from fridge and allow to rise at room temperature in covered bowl for two hours.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
- Spread pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface with your fingers. Separate into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a dough ball. Cover your 8 dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for thirty minutes.
- Roll each dough ball into a square, keeping the other balls covered as you work. Toss and spread dough with your fingers to spread it out.
- One square at a time, in diamond placement, spoon 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on one half of the diamond, then spread a layer of cheese on top of the sauce Next lay down about 8 pepperoni slices over the cheese, and then one more layer of cheese.
- Brush a little water around the edges of the dough as a sealing agent. Then fold bare half of diamond over the other half. Use a fork to form a seal all around the edges.
- Using a spatula, carefully place calzones on lightly oiled aluminum foil lined baking sheet, being sure to allow space between each calzone.
- Brush olive oil over top of each calzone and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Bake in oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Let cool on baking rack for 5 minutes.
Notes
- You can serve this with a pizza sauce dip or ranch dressing. Very good.
