Prepare the dough by mixing warm water, instant yeast, sugar, oil, flour, and salt until combined and let it rise until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll out the dough and cut into circles.

Spoon marinara or pizza sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a border.

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Brush the tops with the egg wash made from 1 egg and 2 tbsp water.

Place calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
