Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
- 3
Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 6
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic and onion in a little water or vegetable broth until translucent.
- 7
Add the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and spinach. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in Italian seasoning, black pepper, and remove from heat.
- 8
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 9
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle (about 8 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.
- 10
On one half of each dough circle, layer the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese.
- 11
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
- 12
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, brush the tops with a little olive oil.
- 13
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 14
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with tomato sauce for dipping.
