Ingredients
- 1 lb whole wheat pizza dough *see below for recipe, or just find a good pizzeria and buy some
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium zucchinis diced
- 2 large carrots peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion large dice
- 4 large cloves garlic smashed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- salt
- pepper
Sauce
- 1 cup good pizza sauce
- 2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
For the top:
- olive oil
- Parmesan Cheese
- garlic salt
- parsley flakes
Instructions
- If making your pizza dough from scratch, make that first. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water with 2 1/4 teaspoons quick rise yeast (1 packet) and 1 teaspoon sugar or honey. Proof 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/2-2 cups all purpose flour (start with 2 cups total and work your way up).
- Knead dough 5 minutes. It should be slightly sticky but smooth. Coat in olive oil, place in large clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. After 1-2 hours dough should have doubled in size. After it has risen, it is ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On large baking sheet, toss all vegetables with olive oil, basil, salt and pepper. Spread out in one even layer on baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes until vegetables have browned and softened. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 450. Punch dough down and cut into 8 equal portions. Roll into a circle (about 6-8 inches across). Spread about 2 tablespoons pizza sauce on the middle of the dough and top with 1/4 cup cheese.
- Place a few spoonfuls of roasted vegetables on top and sprinkle some parmesan cheese over that. Fold dough over fillings and press down to seal with the bottom.
- Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush top with olive oil and sprinkle on parmesan cheese, garlic salt and parsley flakes. Cut slit in the top. Repeat this process to make 7 more calzones. Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is baked and has browned slightly. Serve warm.
