TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
2
Divide the fresh pizza dough into four equal portions and roll each into an oval about 1/4 inch thick.
COOKING
3
In a pan, cook the fresh Italian sausage over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly.
4
Add the diced bell peppers to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
5
In a small bowl, mix pizza sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil to create the seasoned pizza sauce.
ASSEMBLING
6
Spread a generous portion of the seasoned pizza sauce onto one side of each piece of dough, leaving some space around the edges. Sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella cheese.
7
Divide the sausage and pepper mixture evenly among the dough. Place the thinly sliced pepperoni on top, followed by a second layer of mozzarella cheese.
8
Fold the dough over the fillings and pinch the edges firmly to form a crescent-shaped calzone. If the seal is not firm, wet the edges of the dough slightly with water and press again.
9
Make 2 or 3 small slits on the top of each calzone using a sharp knife. Brush each calzone evenly with the beaten egg.
BAKING

Place the calzones on the sheet pan and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.

Garnish the piping hot calzones with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with additional seasoned pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
