@foodandperfumelover: Ingredients For the Calzone * 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade * 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced * 1 cup Alfredo sauce * 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese * ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 1 tsp Italian seasoning * ½ tsp garlic powder * ¼ tsp black pepper * 1 egg, beaten, for brushing * 1 tbsp olive oil * 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish Optional * ½ cup sautéed spinach * ½ cup sliced mushrooms * Red pepper flakes, to taste Instructions 1. **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. 2. **Heat the oven:** Preheat oven to **425°F (220°C)**. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. **Roll the dough:** Divide the pizza dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each into a circle about 8–10 inches wide. 4. **Fill:** Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge. 5. **Fold and seal:** Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon. Press the edges firmly together, then crimp with a fork. Cut 2–3 small slits in the top of each calzone to let steam escape. 6. **Brush:** Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg and lightly drizzle with olive oil. 7. **Bake:** Bake for **18–22 minutes**, or until puffed and deeply golden brown. 8. **Finish:** Let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce or marinara for dipping. Make-Ahead & Storage * **Refrigerate:** Store cooled calzones in an airtight container for up to **3 days**. * **Freeze:** Wrap individually and freeze for up to **2 months**. * **Reheat:** Bake at **375°F** until hot and crisp, about 12–18 minutes. Frozen calzones may need additional time. * For best texture, avoid microwaving unless you're in a hurry—the crust will be softer. **Tip:** Don't overfill the calzone. Leaving enough room around the edges helps prevent the creamy filling from leaking during baking. #pizzadough #chickenalfredo
