An easy hack to create football-shaped calzones using refrigerated pizza dough, perfect for tailgate parties or a fun family dinner. Fill them with your favorite pizza toppings and bake until golden brown.
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Unroll each tube of dough on a piece of parchment paper dusted with flour and roll each piece of dough to approximately 12x16 inches.
3. Cut 4 football shapes out of each crust. Tip: First, cut a football shape from parchment, or construction paper; check the size to ensure you can get 4 from each piece of dough.
4. Leave a ½ inch border and layer mozzarella and toppings over 4 footballs.
5. Drape the remaining 4 football shapes over the dough with toppings.
6. Press the edges of the footballs with a fork to seal.
7. In a small bowl, beat egg and brush egg mixture on top of the dough.
8. Bake 15-19 minutes or until golden brown. Oven times vary; you will know they are done when they are golden brown.
9. Serve with warm marinara.
