Calzone Ingredients:
- pizza dough, (about one pound, thawed if frozen).
- flour for the work surface.
- 1 cup ricotta.
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella.
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan.
- 1 pepper chopped.
- 1 onion (I like to use a nice red onion, adds a sweet flavor).
- 4 ounces salami, roughly chopped (I went ahead and bought the sliced salami).
- 2 tablespoons oil.
- 1 14- to 16-ounce jar pasta sauce (or use tomato paste, if you want a thicker, not so runny sauce).
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-inch round and transfer to the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and salami. Dividing evenly, spoon the mixture over half of each round, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Using your fingers, wet the border with water. Fold the uncovered side of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops of the calzones with the oil and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with the warm pasta sauce on the side.
