Lasagna Calzones

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought pesto
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/4 cup meat sauce
  • 3/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
  • cooking spray or olive oil mister
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal sized balls. Roll each dough ball into a flat disc, about 6-8" in diameter and 1/4" thick.
  3. Brush each dough circle with 2 tablespoons of pesto, leaving a border around the edge for sealing.
  4. Top 1/2 of each dough circle with 2 ounces of sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on the mozzarella.
  5. Top the mozzarella slices with 1/3 cup of meat sauce. And finally, top the meat sauce with 3 tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese. Repeat this for the rest of the calzones.
  6. Fold each calzone in half, to cover the filling, and press the edges of the dough down. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut a small ventilation hole in the top of each calzone to allow steam to vent.
  7. Place each calzone on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and spray with cooking spray or olive oil so the calzones get brown and crispy. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until they're crisp & golden brown.
  8. Allow the calzones to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
