This dish is made with a crispy and flaky crust that is filled with savory sausage, sweet peppers, and gooey mozzarella cheese.

To make this mouth-watering dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce


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 marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Next, add the cooked sausage and sliced peppers on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage and peppers.
Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal the calzone. Use a sharp knife to make a few slits on 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 crispy. Let the calzone cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
