Ingredients

  • 13.8 ounces refrigerated pizza dough
  • ½ cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  • 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.
