Ingredients

Instructions

Making Ham & Cheese Calzones is a simple process. Follow these steps for success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut it into circles about 6 inches in diameter.
3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Fill the Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.
5. Fold the Calzones: Carefully fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
6. Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops of each calzone with olive oil for a golden finish while baking.
7. Bake: Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Once done, remove from the oven and allow the calzones to cool for a few minutes before serving.
