Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of dough with flour. With floured hands, divide dough into 2 equal pieces (4 pieces for 4 ppl) on a well-floured surface.
- Stretch each piece of dough into a 5x8-inch round or oval shape.
- Set aside to rest on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 8-10 min. (NOTE: Use 2 baking sheets for 4 ppl).
- While dough rests, quarter mushrooms.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef, mushrooms and half the Italian Seasoning.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-6 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Add roasted pepper pesto. Stir to combine.
- With floured hands, stretch dough again into large oval shapes. (NOTE: The dough should now hold its shape.)
- Using a slotted spoon, top one half of each calzone with beef filling, then sprinkle mozzarella over top.
- Fold over dough over filling, then crimp edges to seal. Brush 1/2 tbsp oil over each calzone, then make one small slit on the top of each calzone using a knife.
- Bake calzones in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 22-25 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, bake in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Meanwhile, heat a small pot over medium heat.
- When hot add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then the garlic and remaining Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add marinara sauce and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar. Cook, stirring often, until warmed through.
- Allow calzones to cool slightly before serving, 3-4 min.
- Divide calzones between plates and cut in half, if desired.
- Serve marinara alongside for dipping.
