Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces frozen French bread dough, thawed
2 cups chopped spinach, leave blanched, drained, and squeezed dry
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon scallion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon shredded fat free mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup tomato sauce, with Italian seasonings

Steps:

  • Position the oven rack in the lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 10-inch circle. Cover and let rest while making the filling.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the spinach tomatoes, ricotta, scallions, basil, oregano, garlic, pepper, and salt.
  • Spoon the mixture over half of the dough circle to within 1/2-inch of the edge.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to close, crimping the edges to seal.
  • With a large spatula, transfer the calzone to a baking sheet or to a baking stone in the oven.
  • Sprinkle the top with the mozzarella.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust browns.
  • Cut in half.
  • Heat the tomato sauce and serve with the calzone.

Overall, this is a solid calzone recipe. The crust is crispy and the filling is flavorful. However, I would have liked a bit more sauce.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes to give it a bit more kick.

I'm always looking for new and creative ways to use my sourdough starter, and this recipe was perfect. The sourdough crust added a nice tangy flavor to the calzone.
