Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the pizza dough to about a 16-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

On one half of the dough, add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Add a generous amount of whole milk ricotta cheese on top of the mozzarella.

Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter it over the cheese.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal it tightly.

Trim any excess dough if necessary and crimp the edges to seal.

Make a few slits on top of the calzone to allow air to escape during baking.

Place the calzone on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Let the calzone cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into it.
