Add mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce.

Add about five pepperonis on top of the cheese.

Fold the dough over into a triangle shape.

Use a fork to press along the edges of the triangle to seal it closed.

Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top of each calzone.

Place each calzone on a baking dish that has been prepared with nonstick spray.

Bake in a preheated 400°F (204°C) oven for 10 minutes or until the top of the calzones are golden brown.
