cheeseless calzones.
ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil (veg or canola will work too)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup homemade or bottled pasta sauce
6-8 cups mixed veggies of your choosing (i sautéed a combo of chopped fresh spinach, sliced onions, minced garlic, diced seitan, and sliced mushrooms). you could also add a block or so of crumbled firm tofu to get that ricotta effect.
instructions:
1.) add first 6 ingredients to bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
2.) select dough cycle. when cycle is complete, remove dough to floured surface. cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
3.) preheat oven to 400°F.
4.) divide dough into 8 equal portions. on a floured surface, roll each portion to 6-7" circle. Spread about 1 tbsp. of sauce evenly over bottom half of each round leaving a 1" border uncovered at edge. add 1/8th of the veggie/seitan/tofu mixture over sauce. fold dough over filling to make half-circles. pinch or crimp edges to seal (i used a fork); prick tops several times with fork or sharp knife.
5.) place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake on center oven rack for 25 minutes (if freezing some or all for later, only bake for about 10-15 mins, then let cool and store in freezer). let stand for 10 minutes before serving.makes: 8
*take frozen calzone and place it on a baking tray in a preheated 400°F oven. bake for 25-30 minutes. (if you're taking these for a lunch and don't have access to an oven/can't wait, i would recommend thawing in the fridge the night before so it can re-heat in less time in your microwave or toaster oven.
**also! all apologies (nirvana-style) for the shotty cell phone pictures. my lovely digital camera lost battery power. jerk.
