Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. Step 2

    Stir ricotta, mozzarella, and red pepper flakes into the cooked sausage. Mix until combined, then remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Stretch dough into an 8-inch circle on parchment paper. Spoon filling onto one half, leaving a 1-inch border.

  4. Step 4

    Fold dough in half over filling and crimp the edges tightly with a fork to seal.

  5. Step 5

    Mix minced garlic with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Brush mixture over the calzone top.

  6. Step 6

    Bake on parchment until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes before serving.
