To make Herb and Cheese Stuffed Calzones, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle that is about 8 inches in diameter. Spoon the cheese mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the cheese mixture and press the edges together to seal. Brush the tops of the calzones with the beaten egg.
Bake the calzones for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot and enjoy!
