Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb homemade pizza dough or store-bought dough for 3 pizzas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup basil pesto
2 cups shredded Gouda cheese (8 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F. Divide pizza dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each into 8-inch round disk.
  • To make filling, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, zucchini and mushrooms; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach; continue to cook about 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; set aside to cool slightly.
  • To make each calzone, spread 2 tablespoons pesto on dough round. Top with filling. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Gouda cheese. (Resist the temptation to overfill the dough.) Fold dough over; press edge and twist to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut calzones in half to serve.

These calzones were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices to the filling.
