To make the Mediterranean Calzone, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup of warm water
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of chopped Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup of chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Mix the sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, spinach, red onion, basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each part into a circle. Place the filling on one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Bake the calzones for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious Mediterranean flavors.
