Prepare Pizza dough per my high protein pizza dough recipe directions
Cover dough with parchment paper and then roll out into an oval/circle shape
On half of the crust, spread the pizza sauce
Mix together cottage cheese & ricotta cheese, season with italian seasoning, salt, & pepper
Spread onto the pizza sauce
Then layer on the veggies, pepperoni (if not doing vegetarian), & shredded cheese
Fold the other half over and pinch all the way around to close the calzone and create a half circle
Whisk your egg
Transfer your calzone carefully to a baking sheet, brush with the egg wash and season with italian seasoning
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Check at the 10 minute mark, you may want to flip the calzone over to ensure even cooking of the dough (and cook for another 2-3 minutes).
Enjoy!

Notes

I like to use the Tuscan Italian Seasoning Blend on top of the egg wash. Have fun with the ingredients! I’ve used frozen fire roasted peppers in them and it was delicious! Just be sure to burn off any liquid from them first.
