Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.

- Roll out the pizza crust, and cut it into 6 equal-sized squares.
- In the middle of each square, place a portion of the marinara sauce, shredded cheese, and 4 pepperoni slices.
- Fold the dough over into a triangle, and use a fork to press along the edges of the triangle to seal it closed.
- Place Calzones onto the prepared baking sheet.

- Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Mix up the toppings you use! You do not have to only use pepperoni. Use one topping or multiple. Here are a few of our favorite pizza toppings: green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, sliced olives, red onions, ham, Italian sausage, pineapple, bacon (or Canadian bacon), or BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce.
- If you do not want to use refrigerated dough, you don’t have to! You can make homemade dough and use it in place of the refrigerated dough.
- Use the dough straight from the refrigerator as the cold dough is easier to work with to make this easy calzone recipe.
