Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture is best)
- 8 ounces Smithfield® Anytime Favorites™ Diced Ham
- 1 tomato seeded and diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce plus more for serving
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500ºF.
- Divide your pizza dough into 4 equal parts. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a ¼-inch thick circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Add a layer of mozzarella (about ½ cup), diced ham (about ¼ cup), diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of oregano to the lower part of the pizza circle, leaving about 1-inch space around for sealing.
- Dip a finger in a little bit of cold water and spread around the edges. Fold the top half of the dough over the toppings, sealing the edges together and creating a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges together all around.
- Transfer the calzoni to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush them with the pizza sauce, the use a sharp paring knife to make 2 or 3 slits on top so steam can escape.
- Sprinkle the calzoni with the grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake the calzoni in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve with warm pizza sauce on the side, for dipping.
Notes
- Got a pizza oven?
- If you have an outdoor wood fired pizza oven, you can bake your calzoni in it! You can also bake on a preheated pizza stone in the oven, if you have one.
- Storage and Freezing
- Leftovers will keep well in the fridge, wrapped in plastic or stored in an airtight container, for 3-4 days.
- If you desired to freeze them, make sure they have cooled completely, them freeze on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen solid, wrap each calzone individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.
- Reheating
- Reheat in the oven, at 350ºF, until warmed through. You can reheat straight from frozen.
