Preparation
  1. Preheat your wood-fired oven to a sizzling 500–550°F (260–290°C).
  2. On a floured surface, roll your pizza dough into circles approximately 8–9 inches in diameter.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir until well blended.
  4. Spread a layer of marinara sauce over one half of each dough circle. Spoon the cheesy filling onto the sauce.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle, crimping the edges tightly to seal.
  6. Place the assembled calzones on a floured pizza peel and bake for 6–8 minutes, rotating halfway through.
  7. Remove from the oven when golden and brush the tops with olive oil before serving.
