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.
Step 2
Stir ricotta, mozzarella, and red pepper flakes into the cooked sausage. Mix until combined, then remove from heat.
Step 3
Stretch dough into an 8-inch circle on parchment paper. Spoon filling onto one half, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 4
Fold dough in half over filling and crimp the edges tightly with a fork to seal.
Step 5
Mix minced garlic with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Brush mixture over the calzone top.
Step 6
Bake on parchment until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes before serving.
