Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 cup ranch dressing
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 egg (for egg wash)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Add Fillings: Spread the ranch dressing over one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese on top of the ranch dressing. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor.
Fold and Seal: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.
Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the calzone. This will help it get a beautiful golden-brown color when baked.
Bake: Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the calzone is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the calzone cool slightly, then slice and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
