Prepare pizza dough according to your preferred recipe or package instructions.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, black pepper, and salt.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut the dough into 6-inch circles using a pizza cutter or a round cutter.

Spoon the cheese mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.

Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg to help seal the calzones.

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

Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are sealed.

Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the calzones with olive oil and make a few small slits to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce.
