Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough homemade or store-bought pizza dough
½ cup pizza sauce
½ cup sliced pepperoni
¾ cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup shredded provolone
sliced mushrooms optional
chopped onion optional
baby spinach optional
diced bell peppers optional
1 egg
1 tablespoon cool water
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or brush with olive oil.
Lightly flour your work surface and cut the pizza dough into four equal portions using a pizza cutter. Gently stretch and pat out the pizza dough into 1/4-inch-thick circles.
Spoon 2 tablespoons marinara onto each dough circle and spread it out, leaving at least a 1/2 inch of the edge sauce free. Divide your pepperoni and cheese evenly and add any desired vegetables.
Fold the dough over, creating a half circle, and crimp the edges, first rolling together with your fingers and then crimping with a fork. Cut 3 slits in the top of each one.
Beat the egg and water together. Brush lightly over the exposed dough. Sprinkle with dried marjoram. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, remove the calzone from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to reheating to bring it to room temperature. Wrap it in a loose aluminum foil tent and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 12-15 minutes or until warm.
