Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.75 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and Greek yogurt to the bowl. Mix the ingredients with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. Cover it with a clean towel and set aside while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir until well mixed.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Place 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach feta mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal.

Step 10

Place the calzone pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pocket with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the mini calzones cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
