Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Marinara sauce, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded mozzarella, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Spoon an equal amount of the ham and cheese mixture onto one side of each dough rectangle, leaving about 1/2 inch of space along the edges.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 6

Brush the edges of each dough rectangle with the egg wash. Fold the empty side of the dough over the filling to create a crescent or half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly together to seal, then crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

Step 7

Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and use a sharp knife to cut two small slits on the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Bake the calzones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
