Ingredients

1 batch pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup pizza sauce (or more, to taste)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Your favorite toppings: pepperoni, onions, olives, green peppers, mushrooms, sausage, browned ground beef, etc.
1-2 Tbsp. melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into an 8–10 inch circle.
  3. On one side of each circle, spread a few spoonfuls of pizza sauce. Top with garlic, half of the cheese, and your desired toppings.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape. Press and seal the edges firmly with your fingers or a fork.
  5. Transfer calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Cut a small slit on top of each to let steam escape.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Brush with melted butter while hot. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
