Ingredients:  

1 pound store-bought pizza dough
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1¼ cups ricotta cheese
30 slices pepperoni
1¼ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1½ cups tomato sauce, for dipping
Directions:
Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Divide the pizza dough into 10 even pieces (cut the dough in half, then cut each half into five pieces).

3. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil with the garlic powder, black pepper and ricotta to combine.

4. Use your hands to stretch each piece of dough into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. If the dough is too sticky, lightly oil your hands to make it easier to handle. Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet.

5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture into the center of each piece of dough. Top with 3 pepperoni slices and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.

6. To close the calzones, fold the dough in half over the filling, pressing firmly on the edges to seal them together. You may have to stretch the dough slightly as you pull it over to make sure the filling is fully encased. Use a paring knife to cut a small vent into the center of each calzone.

7. Brush each calzone with the remaining olive oil and bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with a side of warm tomato sauce for dipping
