This flavorful and satisfying calzone is perfect for lunch or dinner, and kids will love its comforting taste. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
For the dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup vegan ricotta cheese (store-bought or homemade)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For sealing and brushing:
2 tablespoons plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat milk)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
Prepare the dough:
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
Prepare the filling:
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, mix the sautéed spinach with the vegan ricotta cheese until well combined.
Assemble the calzone:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle or oval shape on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place half of the spinach and ricotta filling on one side of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges to seal the calzone.
Seal the calzone:
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Press the edges of the dough together to seal the calzone. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge.
Bake the calzone:
Transfer the sealed calzones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the calzones with plant-based milk to give them a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the calzones are golden and crispy.
Serve:
Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
