Sausage and Onion Calzone Recipe

Italian · Main course · 50 min total

A hearty Italian-style calzone stuffed with savory sausage, sweet caramelized onions, and gooey mozzarella cheese, perfect for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
3. In the same skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat. Add to the onions and let cool slightly.
4. Stir mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley into the sausage-onion mixture.
5. Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch circle.
6. Place 1/4 of the filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush edges with beaten egg, then fold dough over filling and press edges to seal. Crimp with a fork.
7. Place calzones on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg and cut a few small slits for steam vents.
8. Bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
• Calzones can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
