Ricotta and Mozzarella Calzone

Ricotta and Mozzarella Calzone is a delicious Italian dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with a combination of ricotta and mozzarella cheese, which gives it a creamy and cheesy flavor. The calzone is a type of pizza that is folded in half and baked, making it a perfect meal for on-the-go or for a quick lunch.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup of sliced onions
- 1/4 cup of sliced bell peppers
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 pound of pizza dough


To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the pizza dough into a circle and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Next, add the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers on top of the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the top of the ingredients.
Fold the dough in half and press the edges together to seal the calzone. Use a fork to crimp the edges and make sure they are sealed tightly. Cut a few slits in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape.
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
