1. Place a pizza stone in the oven and heat to 450 F. Lightly dust a pizza peel with semolina flour.
2. Press down 1 L&B white or wheat pizza dough into a small disk. Using your fingertips, press the dough outward, dimpling the dough and stopping about 1 inch from the edge. Stretch the dough over the backs of your hands, moving it in a circle to create a 10-inch round. Place the dough onto the dusted pizza peel.
3. On one half of the dough, layer 2 cups L&B Ready to Heat Pulled Chicken, ½ cup thinly sliced red onions, ½ cup pitted and sliced Frescatrano olives, ¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce and 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and firmly press the edges together to seal the dough. Make three small slits in the top of the calzone and brush the dough with extra virgin olive oil.
5. Carefully slide the calzone onto the pizza stone and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with L&B Ranch.
