- 1 ball Pizza Dough
- 1 tbsp Flour
- 1 lb Ham deli meat - any flavor will work!
- 3/4 lb Cheese American works best for melting
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 pat Butter Melted
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Parsley
Preparing the Dough
Put olive oil on baking sheet and swirl around well to cover entire pan - best to put a ziplock bag on your hand to swirl the olive oil around.
Next, sprinkle flour around pizza dough evenly so that you can handle the dough without it sticking to your hands.
Stretch out the dough to form a rectangle that will cover the baking sheet.
Once the dough has stabilized in the pan, you can begin making the calzone.
Adding the Filling
Fold a piece of ham in half and place it at the top of the dough, on one side of the dough, leaving approx 1/2" on the side.
Next, place the cheese slice on top of the ham about 1/2" - 1" down from the top of the ham.
Repeat ham and cheese placement until you have covered the entire length of the dough.
Fold over the empty dough side over the ham/cheese side and press the edges together so they are sealed around the entire calzone.
Brush melted butter on top of calzone.
Sprinkle parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder on top of the calzone.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Once cooked, remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Calzone will be extremely hot.
ENJOY!
