Directions
- Prepare Dough
- Mix Urban Slicer Pizza Dough according to package directions. Allow dough to rest and rise as instructed. Once ready, divide dough into portions and shape into a 10–12 inch round.
- In a bowl, combine chopped chicken, buffalo sauce, and Urban Slicer White Pizza Mojo. Mix until evenly coated.
- Pro Tip: Seasoning the chicken with White Pizza Mojo adds garlic, herb, and savory depth that balances the heat.
- On one half of the dough round:
- Add a layer of shredded cheese
- Spoon buffalo chicken mixture on top
- Add optional toppings
- Finish with another light layer of cheese
- Fold dough over filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch and crimp edges tightly to seal.
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 375°F
- Place calzone on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone
- Brush top lightly with olive oil (optional)
- Cut 2–3 small vent slits on top
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown
- Pizza Oven Method:Bake at 650–700°F rotating frequently
- Cook until dough is crisp and evenly browned (about 4–6 minutes)
- Rest and Serve
