Ingredients

Premade pizza dough

Grated part-skim mozzarella cheese. (Enough to cover dough [8 oz. bag])

Ham cold-cuts (Enough to cover dough. [1/2 lb.]).

12 inch pepperoni (You won’t use all of it)

Marinara sauce (Enough to cover dough. OPTIONIAL)

Preparation

  1. If dough is frozen, let thaw in fridge overnight.
  2. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Sanitize and flour a surface about 2.5x2.5 feet.
  4. Place dough on floured surface and work flour into dough just until it’s not sticky anymore.
  5. Roll dough out until 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  6. If wished cover surface with marinara sauce then cover surface with desired amount of cheese. Without marinara, skip right to the cheese. (Recommendation: 8 oz. bag of cheese. Use all of it).
  7. Chop or rip ham into desired size and use desired amount on top of the cheese. (Recommendation: use all of the ham).
  8. Cut off about a 3-4 inch piece of the pepperoni log. Cut off the plastic wrapper(s) and discard. Chop pepperoni into small bite-size pieces and scatter over the ham.
  9. Carefully, flip the two longer sides of the dough one on top of other. If desired, use a pastry brush and water and paint water onto the dough to act like a glue. Then flip the two ends up and over and seal with water.
  10. Carefully place calzone on aluminum foil or a thin aluminum baking sheet and place in oven or toaster oven.
  11. Cook for 10 minutes then check by looking to see if the dough is a light brown. If not, continue cooking and check every 5-10 minutes.
  12. Enjoy, but don’t burn your tongue!
