Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (6 mm). Place the dough on a lightly floured surface.
2
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3
Place the ricotta mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal the calzone.

Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with a little bit of olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
