Notes
You can use homemade pizza dough or store-bought pizza dough. I've even used pizza dough purchased from our favorite pizzeria.You can customize the calzones and use whichever fillings are your family's favorite.You can even divide the pizza dough into 2 to 4 pieces and create individual calzones.This recipe is just a guideline. You may need more than 2 cups of ricotta cheese depending on how you roll out the pizza dough.
