Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked and crumbled bacon, chopped kale, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness, forming a large circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
-
Spoon the bacon and kale mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving a border around the edge to seal the calzone.
-
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press down the edges firmly to seal.
-
Using a fork, crimp the edges of the calzone to ensure a tight seal.
-
Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Cut a few small slits in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape while baking.
-
Brush the top of the calzone with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
