My Favorite Calzone - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 recipe pizza dough (Buddha's Pizza Pie Crust)
    12 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
    8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
    4 ounces deli ham, shredded (or sliced super thin and chopped)
    8 ounces mild Italian sausage, crumbled, cooked, and drained well on paper towels
    1 egg (mixed with 1 tsp water)
Preparation
    Place oven rack on bottom rack of the oven. (If you have a baking stone, place that on rack). Preheat oven to 500\u00b0F.
    Make Recipe #265466 according to instructions. Cut ball of dough to however many calzones you are making. DO NOT CUT if making one large calzone. You can cut it to a maximum of 4 calzones.
    Roll out balls of dough (one at a time) on a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Carefully place on a peel that has been lightly dusted with flour (or with a sheet of parchment paper that can slide off onto the stone).
    Keeping a 1/2\" rim, place the ingredients as follows; ricotta cheese, mozzarella, ham, and then sausage onto one half of the round dough.
    Brush egg wash over 1 half of the RIM ONLY (around the filling side). Fold dough over to form a half moon shape. Press edges firmly to seal and/or tuck underneath.
    Cut slits (3 for a large, 2 for medium, and 1 for small) in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush tops very lightly with remaining egg wash. Bake 10 to 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
