Prepare pizza dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough into circles on a floured surface.

Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese on one half of each dough circle.

Layer mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions on top of the ricotta.

Sprinkle garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the filling.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

Brush the calzones with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Prepare a campfire or grill for medium heat.

Place the calzones on a piece of aluminum foil dusted with cornmeal.

Cook the calzones over the campfire for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with warm tomato sauce for dipping.
