How To Make ricotta spinach calzones

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2
    In a large bowl mix the ricotta with one egg yolk, garlic, cheeses, parsley, spinach, meats and salt & pepper to taste.
  • 3
    Dust a clean work surface with some flour. Divide pizza dough into 6 balls. (I formed my dough into a log and sliced it into 6 pieces.) Roll out each dough ball to about 6 inches in diameter. Divide filling among each, leaving a 1/2 inch rim around the edge.
  • 4
    In a small bowl, whisk up the remaining egg with a little bit of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the rim of each filled dough circle then fold in half to form a half moon shape. Pinch the sides gently to secure the filling.
  • 5
    Place calzones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the confectioner's sugar to the remaining egg wash and brush top of each. Cut 3 slits into top of each. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
