Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ green pepper (optional)
  • ¼ onion (optional)
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • ½ cup pizza sauce (plus some for serving if desired)
  • 12 slices pepperoni
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Cool 10 minutes before serving and serve with extra sauce on the side, if desired.
