Out of the Oven Baked Calzones Recipe

These homemade calzones are the ideal pizza night dinner. They're filled with melted cheese and seasoned with garlic and oregano. The best part is that they're baked in the oven for a crispy crust that's ready in minutes.

Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 pound pizza dough

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 20 minutes

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into four equal pieces and roll each piece into a circle.
• On one half of each dough circle, spread a spoonful of marinara sauce, leaving a small border around the edge.
• Top the sauce with the cheeses mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan.
• Sprinkle the cheese with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
