Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Make the filling: Mix the mozzarella, ricotta, basil, scallions, 1/4 cup parmesan and the breadcrumbs in a medium bowl until combined. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 7-to-8-inch round.
• Spoon one-quarter of the filling onto one half of each dough round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with some of the beaten egg; fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the calzones with the remaining beaten egg and cut 2 slits in the top of each to let steam escape. Sprinkle the calzones with the remaining 2 teaspoons parmesan, then bake until golden brown and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce, the salami and giardiniera.

Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of vegetable mixture and 1/4 cup of cheese mixture over one side of each circle. Brush edges of dough with water; fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Place calzones 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Whisk egg and water; brush over calzones.

TURKEY, PESTO AND VEGGIE CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove and finely chop the mushroom stems. Cut the mushroom caps into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushroom stems and caps, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released some of their liquid and start to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the broccoli and an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pinch of black pepper. Cook until the broccoli is bright green and starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
• When the mixture has cooled, add the mozzarella, turkey, ricotta and pesto. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into two equal portions and form each into a ball. Working with one ball at a time, roll and stretch the dough into a 13-inch round; dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer the round to a prepared baking sheet. Spoon half of the filling onto one half of the dough round, leaving a 1-inch border. Use the parchment paper to help fold the other half up and over to enclose the filling, gently pressing out as much air as possible. Seal the edges by stretching the bottom edge of dough up and over the top edge and crimping the edges with your thumb to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough, filling and second prepared baking sheet.
• Cut 2 small slits on the top of each calzone with a sharp knife so steam can escape. Brush each calzone with a little bit of olive oil. Bake until the crust is golden brown and you can see the filling bubbling through the vent slits, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cut the calzones into pieces and serve immediately.
