Ingredients: 3 cups All-purpose flour; 1 tbs Active dry yeast; 1 cup Warm water; 2 tbs Olive oil; 1 tsp Sugar; 1 tsp Salt; 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded; 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled; 1 medium Tomato, diced; 1 medium Onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves Garlic, minced; 2 tbs Fresh parsley, chopped; 1 tbs Olive oil; to taste Salt; to taste Black pepper

Mozzarella & feta cheese with a blend of sautéed tomato, onion, garlic, and parsley.

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Make Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knead Dough

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook Vegetables

Add diced tomato, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Add Tomato and Seasoning

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetable mixture with shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

Prepare Filling

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.

Shape Calzones

Place a generous amount of filling on one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Fill Calzones

Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
