Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams pizza dough, OR make from a shortcut
  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squized dry
  • 1/2 cup Cottage cheese, OR make from a shortcut
  • 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, smashed and minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • tomato sauce, for dipping, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C.
  • Cut the pizza dough into 8 pieces on a floured surface.
  • Roll out or use your hands, one piece of dough until flat and somewhat round in shape, does not have to be perfect.
  • Layer two tablespoons spinach, 1 tablespoon Cottage cheese, and a 1/2 slice mozzarella cheese.
  • Fold one side of dough up and over ingredients, and seal calzone by crimping the edges together. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining calzones.
  • In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, Parmesan, garlic, and parsley, brush each calzone with the mixture.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
