⏱ 30 mins 🍽 4 serving(s) 🏷 Snack

This cheesy pull-apart calzone is a fun and shareable twist on a classic. Made with a convenient pizza dough, it's filled with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and shaved deli turkey. The dough is cleverly cut before baking to create easy-to-pull portions, then finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan. It bakes until golden and is ready to enjoy after a brief cooling period, making it an ideal quick lunch or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 (283 g) can refrigerated prepared pizza crust
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce

  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated

Method

  1. Heat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Slice the roll of dough in half across its width.
  3. Take one half of the dough and unroll it onto a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  4. Spoon the pizza sauce along the middle of the dough, keeping a 1/2 inch border clear all around.
  5. Scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  6. Arrange the turkey slices over one half of the cheese-covered area, leaving the other half with just cheese.
  7. Unroll the second half of the dough and place it over the filling.
  8. Seal the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork.
  9. Slice the rectangle in half from side to side.
  10. Cut each of these rectangles diagonally into two triangles, but do not move the pieces apart.
  11. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the dough surface with water.
  12. Dust the parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  13. Place in the oven and bake for 15-19 minutes until it turns a golden brown colour.
