# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Calzone

01 - 680 grams pre-made pizza dough
02 - 30 millilitres ranch dressing
03 - 140 grams cooked chicken, chopped
04 - 2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
05 - 45 grams fresh spinach
06 - 85 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
07 - 3 slices Provel cheese

09 - 2 grams garlic salt

→ Optional Garnishes

10 - Red onion, thinly sliced
11 - Parmesan cheese, grated
12 - Italian seasoning
13 - Hot sauce

# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven to 232°C for optimal baking temperature.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a circle approximately 1 centimetre thick.
03 - Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border for sealing.
04 - Distribute cooked chicken, bacon, fresh spinach, mozzarella, and Provel cheese evenly over one half of the dough, avoiding the border.
05 - Fold dough over fillings to form a half-moon shape. Firmly press and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
06 - Brush both sides of calzone with olive oil. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt.
07 - Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
08 - Let calzone cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with optional ingredients as desired before serving.

# Extra Information:

01 - Allow the calzone to rest before slicing to ensure the cheese and juices settle.
