Ingredients

• 500 grams Pizza dough
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 150 grams Feta cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into 4 equal circles, about 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter.

Step 3

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh basil leaves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid squishing the tomatoes.

Step 5

Divide the tomato and feta mixture evenly among the dough circles, placing it on one half of each circle while leaving about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) border around the edge.

Step 6

Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork to seal.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the calzones with the egg wash to ensure they bake to a golden-brown color.

Step 9

Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the calzones to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
