Easy Calzone Recipe
the easiest way to make homemade calzone
Ingredients
- 24 ouncesfrozen bread dough
- ½ cupred sauce (plus more for dipping)
- ⅝ cupricotta cheese
- ⅝ cupmozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1egg (optional, for egg wash)
Directions
- 1
Roll out the dough. For this bake time I’m recommending here, the dough should be roughly 8-10 inches in diameter and 1/2 an inch thick or less.
- 2
Add a spoonful or two of sauce and spread more or less evenly toward the edges, leaving a little edge all around.
- 3
On half of the calzone add 2-3 tablespoons ricotta cheese, crumbled. Also 2-3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella.
- 4
Then, add a handful of any toppings you like, if you are adding any.
- 5
Fold the dough over on itself, making an empanada shape (half moon). I like to use a fork to press the edges together, but you can also roll them up. This will depend on your dough.

Optional: Brush the tops with an egg wash before baking.
