Homemade Calzone Recipe / 4 Cheese Mediterranean Calzone

Prepare the pizza dough (store-bought or homemade).

Roll out the dough to about 7 inches in diameter.

Use water to moisten the edges of the dough for sealing.

Add diced mozzarella, shredded American cheese, dry parsley flakes, feta cheese, and fresh Parmesan cheese to the center of the dough.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.

Make small vent holes in the calzone with a fork.

Brush a baking tray with olive oil and Italian herbs.

Place the calzone on the prepared tray.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil and herbs before baking.

Bake the calzone in the oven until golden brown.

Let the calzone rest for 5 to 7 minutes before serving.

Serve with a dipping sauce of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette, garnished with fresh thyme and Italian olives.
