Your favorite pizza sauce for dipping
Preheat oven to 425º F.
Roll out pizza dough onto a non-stick or lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Layer each square with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.
Fold in the 2 long sides of each square, pinching at the seams and the edges to seal the calzones.
