How to make Puff Pastry Calzone
Thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions, about 40 – 60 minutes.
After the thaw time, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Dice the green pepper and onion, if using.
On a floured piece of parchment paper, roll the puff pastry out to approximately 12 x 18 inches. Click for parchment paper.
Cut the pastry in half giving you two pieces approximately 12 x 9 inches each.
Pour 2 Tbsp pizza sauce onto each half of pastry, leaving a 1 ½ inch border near the edges.
Top with the pepperoni, green peppers, onions, and any additional topping ingredients you prefer.
Add half of the mozzarella cheese to each of the calzones.
Then top with another 2 Tbsp pizza sauce each.
Brush all around the edges with the egg.
Fold the pastry over the filling, stretching it out a little if needed.
Press the edges together really well with your fingers all the way around.
Then crimp with a fork all the way around.
Use a pizza cutter to cut round front corners if desired.
Brush beaten egg all over the tops of each calzone.
Cut a few slits in the top with a knife to let out the steam.
Place the parchment paper with calzones on top of a baking sheet. Click for a baking sheet.
