Ham and Cheese Calzones
Golden, cheesy, and packed with savory ham — these calzones are a simple yet satisfying meal that’s easy to make and even easier to love. Great for family dinners or game day!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound pizza dough
1 cup cooked ham diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into four equal portions and roll each into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
In a bowl, combine the diced ham, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
Place a quarter of the filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, then fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Transfer the calzones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with olive oil and make a small slit in the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape. Top with more cheese if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
