Vegan Calzone

I jumped through a lot of hoops putting this together by making everything from scratch except for the vegan mozzarella. 

For a quick and easy version, I would use store bought vegan pizza dough, your favorite jarred pasta sauce, sliced veggies (mushrooms, onions, black olives, etc), your favorite meatless meat (meatballs, crumbles, pepperoni, Italian sausage, etc.) and vegan mozzarella cheese. 

Place a pizza stone in the oven (if you have one) and preheat oven to 500F. Allow the stone to heat for 20 minutes before using it. Do not preheat the baking sheet if you use one instead. 

Dust work surface with flour (preferably semolina flour). Roll out or free-form the pizza dough into a large circle, making sure it doesn’t stick to work surface. Fill one-half of the circle with desired fillings, adding the sauce to the top at the last. Avoid the urge to overstuff the calzone with ingredients. Make sure you leave about a 1 inch border around the circle free of toppings or sauce. Fold the unfilled side of the dough over the filled side, pressing the borders together to form the half moon shape of a calzone. Now fold the pressed border over itself repeatedly around the calzone to form a quasi-rope look. Carefully transfer calzone to pizza stone in oven or to a silicone mat-lined baking sheet.

Bake at high heat (500F) for around 10-15 minutes or until desired crust color is achieved. 

Serve with extra sauce.
