Prep ingredients

Preheat oven to 500℉ with a rack in the lower third. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Cut mozzarella into ¼-inch thick slices.

Assemble calzones

On a lightly floured work surface, roll each dough piece into an 8-inch circle. Divide cheese between dough circles on one half, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush edges with water and fold dough over. Seal and crimp edge; transfer to prepared baking sheet.

Bake Calzones

With scissors or a sharp knife, cut 2 vent holes on top of each calzone. Brush tops and sides with oil. Bake on lower rack until golden brown, 12–15 minutes.

Heat Marinara

Meanwhile, using a saucepan or microwave, heat marinara sauce until warm.

Serve

Allow calzones to cool for 5 minutes before serving with warm marinara sauce. Enjoy!
