Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Traditional Birrittella's Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 cup Freshly Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese (Seasoned w/ Salt & Pepper)
  • 4-5 slices Thinly Sliced Pepperoni
  • 4-5 slices Thinly Sliced Salami
  • 4 leaves Freshly Torn Basil
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Parsely Flakes
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Freshly Grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Grease your baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Stretch your dough into an oblong circle. This doesn’t have to be perfect since you will be making it into a half moon shape.
  • Lay onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Lay down your salami and pepperoni topped with your seasoned ricotta, mozzarella, sauce, and fresh basil off center of your dough leaving atleast 1 & 1/2” away from the edge.
  • Fold your dough over and pinch to seal shut. Using a fork, press around the edges to ensure it’s closed tight.
  • Using a knife, cut slits along the top to vent.
  • Mix together your olive oil, parsley flakes and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush on top of your calzone.
  • Grate fresh parmesan on top.
  • Bake for 35 mins in your oven. Remove and let cool for about 5 mins before cutting into pieces. Serve with additional sauce if desired.
  • Enjoy!
