Calzone Filling
Calzones are just pizza by another name...and it's surprisingly easy (and fun!) to make a Homemade Calzone. Mix up pizza night this week with a calzone instead!
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 605kcal
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Pizza Dough
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 jalapeno diced (seeds and ribs removed)
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- ¼ cup sliced red onion
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic salt optional
- 1-2 cups pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Roll the dough into a large circle approximately 16-18" in diameter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, jalapeno, pepperoni, and onion.
- Spread the filling on half of the dough, but leave approximately 1" border between filling and edge of dough.
- Fold the unfilled dough over the filled portion and pinch the dough together to seal. (Make sure this seal is tight or your filling will escape while baking. You can use a fork to help seal.)
- Combine olive oil and garlic salt and brush mixture evenly over top of dough.
- Cut 2-3 small slits in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape.
- Bake on a cornmeal-dusted pizza stone at 460 degrees for approximately 22-24 minutes, or until top of calzone is golden brown.
- Allow calzone to cool for several minutes before cutting.
- Heat pizza sauce in small, individual ramekins for dipping.
Notes
You can use store-bought pizza dough to save time, but definitely try making your own dough sometime...the difference is amazing!
