Ingredients
- Deselect All
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Marinara sauce, warmed, for dipping
- 4 ounces sliced salami
- Giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables), for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Make the filling: Mix the mozzarella, ricotta, basil, scallions, 1/4 cup parmesan and the breadcrumbs in a medium bowl until combined. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 7-to-8-inch round.
- Spoon one-quarter of the filling onto one half of each dough round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with some of the beaten egg; fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the calzones with the remaining beaten egg and cut 2 slits in the top of each to let steam escape. Sprinkle the calzones with the remaining 2 teaspoons parmesan, then bake until golden brown and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce, the salami and giardiniera.

Reviews
These were really great. We didn’t find these bland at all. I used seasoned Italian bread crumbs so perhaps they added a little extra flavor.
Easy to prepare. Tasty but a little bland. If I make the recipe again I would add hot Italian sausage
Recipe was spot on and the calzone was perfect! Great job!
This is sooooooo amazing! Best recipe for this EVER! 😀
