Recipe from Vegan Outreach, created by Toni Okamoto

You can mix and match your pizza filling using whatever veggies you have in your fridge. They are delicious!

Ingredients

Pizza Dough:

• 1/4 oz packet of yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 1/2 cups flour – I use all-purpose but you can also use whole wheat
• 1 teaspoon salt

Filling:

• pasta sauce – I used marinara sauce, but you can also use BBQ
• any other pizza fillings you like (I used diced red onions, diced bell pepper, sliced olives etc.)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees (200 degrees Celsius). Pizza dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or until it turns foamy.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Remove dough and knead it with flour (enough so it doesn't stick). Let sit for about 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 3 or 4 (depending on size you'd like) balls. On a well-floured surface (I used two baking sheets), take each ball and roll it out into a circle.
• Place pasta sauce on the middle of the dough leaving a one inch space from the edge. Place your pizza fillings over the pasta sauce, fold the dough in half and fold the edges over and pinch them together.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

If you have leftover calzones, they freeze fabulously!
