Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 cup cooked ham diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into four equal portions and roll each into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
  • In a bowl, combine the diced ham, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Place a quarter of the filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
  • Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, then fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Transfer the calzones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with olive oil and make a small slit in the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape. Top with more cheese if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These calzones are wonderful served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You can also customize the filling by adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes.
