To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough into a large circle and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Next, layer the prosciutto, salami, and mortadella over the cheese. Add the sliced red onion and black olives on top. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the meats and vegetables.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the calzone.
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let the calzone cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
