# What You Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 pound pizza dough, either store-bought or homemade
02 -
All-purpose flour, for dusting
→ Filling
03 -
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
04 -
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
05 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
06 -
1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
07 -
1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
→ Finishing
08 -
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large oval or circle about 1/4 inch thick.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until the meat is fully coated.
04 -
Spread the ranch or blue cheese dressing evenly over one half of the dough, keeping a 1-inch border around the edge.
05 -
Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the dressed side and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese and green onions if desired.
06 -
Fold the dough over the filling to enclose and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Crimp the edge with a fork, if preferred.
07 -
Brush the calzone surface with beaten egg and make two small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
08 -
Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the edges are firmly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
