How To Make homemade calzone recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and cut the pizza dough into quarters using a pizza cutter. Using a floured rolling pin roll the pizza dough into 1/4 inch thick circles.
Step 3

Spoon 2 tablespoons marinara onto each dough circle and spread it out leaving at least a 1/2 inch of the edge sauce free. Divide your pepperoni and cheese evenly and add any desired vegetables.
Step 4

Fold the dough over creating a half circle and crimp the edges first rolling together with your fingers and then crimping with a fork. Cut 3 slits in the top of each one.
Step 5

Beat the egg and water and together. Brush lightly over the exposed dough. Sprinkle with dried marjoram. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
