Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup Cooked ham
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.

Step 6

Spoon the meat and cheese mixture over the pizza sauce, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp the edges using the tines of a fork to ensure it is completely sealed.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the calzone to give it a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 3 small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top with olive oil for added crispness and flavor.

Step 11

Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the calzone from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Three Meat Calzone with extra pizza sauce on the side, if desired.
