For Calzones, unroll pizza dough. Roll or stretch dough into a
15x10-inch rectangle. Cut into six 5-inch squares. Divide desired
filling among squares. Brush edges with water. Lift one corner and
stretch dough over to the opposite corner. Press edges of dough well
with fork to seal.

Arrange on a greased baking sheet. Prick tops with a fork. Combine
egg and 1 teaspoon water; brush onto calzones. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake in a 425 deg. oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
