Equipment

  • stand mixer or use a large bowl and dough whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • kitchen scraper
  • Rolling Pin
  • sheet pan with parchment
  • paring knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch sourdough pizza dough
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • mozzarella shredded
  • pizza toppings of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Divide your sourdough pizza dough into 8 ball. Roll them in a circular motion and use surface tension to make them nice and round. Keep them covered while you're making the other calzones one at a time.
  • Roll a dough ball out one at a time with a rolling pin until they're 1/4" in thickness. Then in the middle of the dough, place your toppings of your choice. Be careful to not overfill the calzone dough, otherwise it won't have a good seal and they'll spill out everywhere.
  • Fold over the top of the dough and connect it with the bottom. With a pinching and twisting motion, seal the sourdough calzone dough together.
  • Place sealed calzone on the sheet pan, then with a paring knife cut a slit in the top or for individualization, carve initials into the top of the dough.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
