Ingredients
500 g pizza dough
100 g pepperoni
160 g mozzarella, grated
4 Tbsp pizza sauce
1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 210°C (fan bake). Divide pizza dough into four equal balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 20 cm circle.
- Spread 1 Tbsp pizza sauce over half of each circle, leaving a 2 cm border.
- Place 4 slices of pepperoni over the sauce and top with about 40 g mozzarella.
- Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press edges firmly and fold/twist to seal.
- Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- Place calzones on a lined baking tray and cut two small vents on top of each.
- Brush tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes
Add mushrooms, capsicum, spinach, or red onion for extra flavor.
Use cheddar, provolone, or a mozzarella blend.
Add chilli flakes or Italian herbs for extra seasoning.
Brush with garlic butter instead of olive oil for richer flavor.
