Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 450º F
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the filling: Mix the mozzarella, ricotta, basil, scallions, 1/4 cup parmesan, egg and panko in a medium bowl until combined. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 7-8" round. Spoon 1/4 of the filling onto one half of each dough round, and optional vegetables, leaving a 1/2" border. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with some of the beaten egg. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the calzones with the remaining beaten egg and cut 2 slits in the top of each to let steam escape. Sprinkle the calzones with the remaining 2 tsps parmesan, then bake until golden brown and cooked through, 18-20 mins. Serve with marinara or garlic butter sauce. |
