Heat the oven to 425F and line a sheet pan with parchment.

Divide the dough into four pieces and stretch each into a rough circle.
Mound a quarter of the filling on one half of each circle, fold over, and crimp the edges tightly with a fork.

Warm the marinara for dipping and let the calzones cool 5 minutes before serving.
