Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza dough ball
- 1 ½ cups chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F with the oven racks positioned in the middle sections of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide a 16oz dough ball into four. Roll each piece into a ball in your hands, and then place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it out into a circle and transfer two calzone bases to each sheet pan.
- Brush 2 tablespoons olive oil over the pizza dough base.
- Mix mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and 3 teaspoons of Italian seasoning in a medium bowl. Distribute the cheese mixture over half of each calzone base. Top the cheese with chopped broccoli.
- Fold the topping-free half over the dough, covering all the toppings, matching the dough's edge. Press down using a fork to seal the edges.
- Poke a few holes over the tops of the dough to let the steam escape. Brush the calzones with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top. Repeat the process with the remaining calzone dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, swapping the baking sheets halfway through until the crusts are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the calzones to cool down for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- If using refrigerated pizza dough in a can that rolls out into a rectangle, simply slice it into 4 pieces and make the calzones rectangular shape following the same process. Make sure to follow baking times and temperature according to the directions printed in the can of dough.
