Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick. Flour your rolling pin and rolling surface as needed.
Use a 5-inch diameter (open side) bowl (or round cookie cutter) to cut the dough into rounds. set aside the excess dough to re-roll later.
In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
On each round add 1/2 tablespoon pizza sauce to one side of the dough and spread a little. (You want to leave one-half of the dough plain since it'll be folded over the top.) Top the sauce with sausage, pepperoni, and cheese mixture. Repeat with the other dough rounds.
Fold the plain half of the dough over the filled half of the calzone. Tuck the bottom edge over the top and pinch to seal the edge of the calzone. Repeat with all the calzones.
Use a sharp knife to cut two slits in the tops of the calzones for steam vents.
Reapte dough rolling, filling, and finish steps for the remaining ingredients until all the dough and fillings have been used.
Place the calzones on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden.
Carefully remove from the oven. Let cool for a couple minutes and then transfer to a serving plate. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Serve with bowls of pizza sauce on the side for dipping, or even a drizzle of ranch dressing.
