• Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
• Place your ricotta into a sieve and place over a bowl for about 15 minutes to allow some of the moisture in the ricotta to drain out.
  16 oz whole milk ricotta
• While the ricotta is draining, cut up your ham into small cubes and add it to a large bowl.
  1 ham steak cubed finely.
• Now add your grated parmesan, 1 egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• Once your ricotta has let out a little moisture, add that to your bowl of ingredients and mix well and set aside.
• Take your other egg and crack it into a small bowl and whisk it with a fork and then set aside. This is your egg wash for the puff pastry that you will add to seal the calzones and to brush on top of them before baking.
• Grab one sheet of your puff pastry and take it out of the package and place on to a lightly floured surface. You will work with one sheet a time to keep the puff pastry cold.
  1 package of puff pastry
• Gently roll out your puff pastry into a 12 inch x 12 inch square.
• Now with a sharp knife, cut your puff pastry into even 4 inch squares. you should get about 12 squares per sheet. It does not need to be perfect.

Assembling the Calzones

• Take a tablespoon of the ham and ricotta mixture and place in the center of your puff pastry square.
• Brush the edges of your puff pastry with the egg wash.
• Take one corner of the puff pastry and fold it over to meet the opposite corner and press the top of the puff pastry into the bottom puff pastry to seal it.
• Once you have pressed the puff pastry into itself, fold the bottom of the seam area up over the top to create a lip edge. Again, it does not need to be perfect just sealed.
• Once you have finished with the first sheet of puff pastry, grab your second sheet out of your refrigerator and repeat these steps until all of the puff pastry and filling is used up.
• Place the calzones on to a sheet pan.
• Brush the calzones with your egg wash.
• Place the calzones in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until they begin to get really golden brown and puffed.
• When done, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before eating.
