Ingredients
Dough
- 2 pizza dough rolls, 13.8 oz
Filling
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved or grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 T. parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 tsp. garlic
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- salt pinch
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables drained and sliced, hot mix, brand Mezzetta
- 1/2 cup Pepper rings drained, mild, brand Mezzetta
- 1/2 cup garlic olives drained and halved, brand Mezzetta
- 3/4 cup pepperoni sliced
Olive Oil
- 4 T. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degree. Have a baking sheet on hand to place the prepared calzones on.
Olive Oil
- hours to overnight before serving the calzones, add olive oil and garlic to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate. This will infuse the olive oil.
Filling
- In a large bowl, add in the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, 1 tsp. of garlic (I used the pieces out of my infused olive oil), black pepper, and salt. Stir with a spatula until combined.
- Roll out the pre-packaged pizza dough and give it a roll. Make sure it’s thin enough to be able to add two 7 -inch circles in it. Place a 7 inch round pan, I used a spring form pan, on one half of the dough and cut around it with a pizza cutter.
- Using a basting brush, brush the side of the dough facing up with the infused olive oil.
- On one half of the dough, add about 1/3 – 1/2 cup cheese filling, 1 T. hot mix, 4-5 olives and pepper rings, and a layer of pepperoni.
- Stretch the other half slightly to assure that it will cover the mound of filling. Be sure to not go overboard on the filling or the stretching.
- Roll the opened edges and press them with a fork or a spoon if you want scalloped edges.
- Brush on more infused olive oil on the outside of the calzone. Place on the baking sheet and prepare the rest of the calzones.
- Place in the oven for 17-19 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven. Serve with marinara or ranch.
