Next, the filling brings everything together. The chicken is mixed with barbecue sauce, creating a flavorful base that stays juicy during baking. The mozzarella melts into the mixture, giving these calzones a creamy and satisfying texture. Because of this, every bite feels rich without being too heavy.

In addition, brushing the dough with egg wash gives the calzones a golden and slightly crispy finish. The small slits on top allow steam to escape, which helps the dough bake evenly. This simple step makes a big difference in the final result.
