Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pounds Pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they become slightly tender. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal portions (large circles or rectangles).

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and broccoli mixture with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Step 6

Spoon an even amount of the filling onto one half of each dough portion, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the unused half of the dough over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

Step 8

Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each calzone with the egg wash, then lightly drizzle or brush them with olive oil for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they have space between them for cooking. Use a knife to cut a small slit or two on top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove the calzones from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving or freezing.

Step 12

To freeze for later, cool the calzones completely, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and store them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through when ready to serve.
