Vegetable and Mushroom Calzone
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
- Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with a portion of the cooked vegetables, black olives, and fresh basil.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, then crimp with a fork to secure the seal.
- Transfer the calzones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegetable and mushroom calzones!
