Ingredients
- 2 lbs pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg , whole, beaten
- 2 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Pizza Sauce , for dipping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, with a pizza stone inside if possible (or use a baking sheet turned upside down).
- Divide pizza dough into 8 portions. Roll each into a flat disk, about 1/4 inch thick. Add about ¼ cup of toppings to one side, including a generous sprinkle of cheese. Fold the other half of dough over the toppings and seal the edges together.
- Place calzones on a large piece of parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit on top of each calzone (for steam to escape while baking). Lightly brush tops of calzones with beaten egg, then sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Transfer calzones (on the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with warmed pizza sauce or Marinara sauce for dipping. Or try other dipping sauces like white garlic sauce, ranch, Alfredo, or bbq sauce.

Notes
- *Nutritional label includes cheese, but no additional pizza toppings.
- Make Ahead instructions: Pizza dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated. Chop and prepare filling ingredients up to 3 days in advance, depending on freshness of ingredients. Pizza sauce can be made 1 week ahead.
- Freezing Instructions: To freeze baked calzones, allow to cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Microwave from frozen or thawed, until warm. To freeze unbaked calzones, place prepared calzones on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 1 hour. Transfer partially frozen calzones to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 400 degrees for 30-45 minute, or until warmed through and golden.
- Air Fryer Calzones: Spray the pan and place 2-3 calzones in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip, and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
