Ingredients

• 1 whole pizza dough
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers, sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives, sliced
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Divide the pizza dough into four equal portions. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface into an 8-inch circle.
3. Layer shredded mozzarella, sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, chopped red onions, and sliced black olives on one half of each dough circle.
4. Fold the other half of the dough over the fillings. Seal the edges by pressing with the tines of a fork to prevent any filling from leaking out.
5. Arrange the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
7. Allow the calzones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
8. Serve the calzones with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
