Ingredients
Dough
  • 1½ Cups kamut or all-purpose flour
  • 1⅛ tsp fast acting yeast
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup warm water, or as needed
Sun-Dried Tomato & Pesto Spread
  • ½ cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • 1 medium tomato
  • ⅓ cup fresh basil, packed
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Assembly
  • Veggies of your choice
  • Vegan cheese (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
Dough
  1. Add the flour, yeast, salt, sugar and oil to a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
  2. Add the water, as needed, until the dough is soft and has come together nicely. Form into a ball.
  3. Place the dough ball in a well-oiled bowl and cover with a clean dish towel. Allow to rise, until it has doubled in size, which can take up to 1 hour (it was 40 minutes for me).
Sun-Dried Tomato & Pesto Spread
  1. Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend/processed until smooth, adding a bit of water, if needed.
Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 500F.
  2. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 portions. and roll each one into a thin layer. Be careful not to make them too thick!
  3. Spread the sauce on each calzone, without going all the way to the edges.
  4. Add the "toppings" - veggies and vegan cheese - on one side of the calzone.
  5. Fold into a semicircle and seal the edges.
  6. Poke a few holes into each calzone, brush with a bit of oil, and sprinkle some dried basil on top (or fresh!).
  7. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bottoms have browned nicely.
  8. Enjoy!
