Vegan Calzone Recipe

Calzone Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms, and spinach. Sauté until mushrooms are cooked and spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and mix in Daiya cheese and vegan ricotta.

3. 3

   Make the Marinara Sauce

   In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

   Assemble the Calzone

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into circles. Place filling on one half of each circle, fold over, and seal edges with a fork.
