Steps:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F
- Divide the dough: Using the prepared pizza dough, split the dough into 4 evenly sized balls for large calzones or 6 for smaller ones. Work with one dough ball at a time and keep the remaining dough balls covered so they don't dry out.
- Roll out the dough: Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin roll it out until you have a circle that is 6-8 inches in diameter, again depending on size you are looking for. If you are making four larger calzones, I would shoot for around 8 inches in diameter. If making the smaller version go for 6-inches. Roll out all the dough balls, so you can have an assembly line when it comes to time to fill the calzones. In the end you should have what looks like 4 to 6 mini pizza crusts waiting to be filled.
- Brush with egg wash: Once your calzones are sealed, make the egg wash. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon of water in small bowl and beat with a fork until combined. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the top of the calzones.
- To Serve: Serve the calzones while warm with extra marinara for dipping.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, flavorful pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce will make a big difference in the final product.
- If you don't have pizza dough, you can use store-bought puff pastry or crescent roll dough instead. Just be sure to roll it out thinly so that it's easy to fold.
- Don't overstuff the calzones. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal properly.
- Be careful not to overcook the calzones. They should be cooked until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the calzones hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter.
