- Rolling pin
Ingredients
- 1 13.8-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough

Instructions
To make the calzones
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the tube of pizza dough and cut the dough into 4 equal squares. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll each out to a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).

- Brush over the calzones and bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve with warmed pizza sauce, if desired.
Notes
Helpful Hints:
Try using different meats and cheeses in the calzone. Try adding vegetables in with the meat mixture for a little boost of nutrition. Add some red pepper flakes in the egg wash for a little spice.
