How to Make Cherry Tomato And Feta Calzone

  1. Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the flour. Pour in 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. Mix thoroughly, either by hand or with a dough hook, until a ball forms.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  6. While the dough rises, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic until softened. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms and cook until tender.
  7. Stir in 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tomatoes are slightly softened.
  8. Remove the filling from the heat and set aside.
  9. Once the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal pieces.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece into a 8-inch circle. The dough will be thin.
  11. Transfer each circle to an oiled baking sheet.
  12. Brush a 2cm border of each circle with 1 beaten egg.
  13. Spread 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce over the remaining dough inside the egg border.
  14. Divide the filling evenly among the four calzones. Top each with 2 oz crumbled feta cheese (or mozzarella), a few fresh basil leaves, and freshly ground black pepper.
  15. Fold the unfilled half of each circle over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
  16. Brush the tops of the calzones with the remaining egg mixture.
  17. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
