Rose Pepperoni and 4 Cheese Calzone

8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz. shredded romano cheese
2 oz. shredded parmesan cheese
4 oz. ricotta
4 oz. Rose Sliced Pepperoni, chopped
1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 garlic clove finely minced
Black pepper to taste
Approximately 2 pounds store bought pizza dough or use your own
Extra-virgin olive oil

Cooking Directions: Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Mix the cheeses, Rose Pepperoni, bell peppers, oregano, thyme, and garlic in a medium bowl. Add a couple grinds of black pepper to your taste. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Stretch or roll each piece into a circle about 9 or 10 inches in diameter. Place dough on a baking sheet. Spread 1/4 of the filling across the bottom half of each dough circle, leaving about 1-inch border. Fold upper half of dough over. Crimp edges to seal and form a half-circle. Bake until puffy and nicely browned, about 18 minutes. Brush lightly with oil and cut into pieces to serve.
