Make your pizza dough and roll it out in 1 big square.

Cut your pizza dough into as many calzones as you want to make. 1 pre-packaged pizza dough makes 4 decent sized calzones.

Place each calzone square onto a cookie sheet. I let 1/2 of it hang off the side since I'm going to fold them in half.

Place the pizza toppings onto 1/2 of each square, leaving a border around the edge for sealing it up. Some people put pizza sauce inside the calzones, but I prefer not to - I just dip it in the sauce when eating it.

Fold the other 1/2 of the calzone and seal up the edges. I like to fold the bottom edge of the calzone over the top to make a nice seal.

Optional: you can brush olive oil or melted butter on top to make the crust golden brown.

If baking immediately: bake at 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, depending on how thin you made the crust.

If freezing: lay flat in the freezer. After a few hours, wrap each calzone in plastic wrap and put in a freezer-safe bag.

To bake frozen calzones: let thaw in fridge for the day. Then bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping!
