- FOR THE DOUGH
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour and salt together until combined. Add the vegan egg and fold until combined. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the water at a time until the dough forms a solid ball. Don't over water or it will be sticky. Add a bit more flour if the dough is sticky.
- Put the dough in a bowl and cover with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough and roll out one section on a floured surface until it’s approximately 10 to 12 inches long and 5 inches wide, and about ¼ inch thick.
- FOR THE FILLING
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit several times and lay on a clean towel (fragrance free) and pat dry.
- Drain and rinse the 1 cup of cashews and place them in a high-speed blender with the 2 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ cup water (add more if needed, keep in mind this should be thick, not runny), ¼ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ⅓ cup nutritional yeast.
- Blend on a high setting until smooth and creamy. You shouldn’t see any solid pieces of the nuts.
- HOW TO MAKE CALZONES
- Place 1 tablespoon of shredded vegan mozzarella, 1 tablespoon vegan ricotta, 1 tablespoon shredded jackfruit, and 1 tablespoon of the buffalo cream sauce on the edge of the dough, leaving enough room to pinch shut.
- Continue adding the calzone filling on the dough, leaving enough space to make individual calzones.
- Fold the other end of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together. Brush with a little water to make them stick if necessary.
- Use a sharp knife and cut individual calzones and pinch the sides of the dough together.
- Place the calzones on a baking sheet and brush both sides with a vegan egg wash or olive oil and bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Notes
- The serving size will vary depending on the size of calzone you make. 2 calzones is the suggested serving size.
- For the jackfruit
- Do not use mature jackfruit. It’s too sweet. You should only use young green jackfruit packed in water, not brine. The brine is salty and can ruin the recipe.
- Make sure that the oven is completely preheated before baking them.bake them on a hot pizza stone for an even crispier crust.
- Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Heat in a 350F (176C) oven until heated through, approximately 10 minutes.
- Yes. Freeze them in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Heat in a 375F (190C) oven for approximately 15 minutes.
