Roma Traditional Beef Meatball Calzones

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough ball to a ¼ inch thickness on a lightly floured work surface. Cut two large circles into the dough. Using a fork, pierce a few small holes into the dough circles. Coat the center of the circles with 2 tablespoons of sauce, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Place about 8 meatballs onto the bottom half of the sauced dough circles and sprinkle approximately 1 cup of mozzarella cheese onto the meatballs. Fold dough in half over the filling and roll the edges by pressing and crimping them together to seal.
  5. Place calzones onto a baking sheet.
  6. Beat the eggs with water in a bowl and brush over the top of the calzones.
  7. Place calzones into the preheated oven and bake 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven place into pizza box and serve with sides or warmed marinara sauce.
