My husband made this last week.  It is yummy, easy, and quick!

So, if you are craving calzone, make it yourself!  Make it vegan!  You will enjoy it much more knowing you didn’t consume a ton of fat and cholesterol….not to mention contributing to cruelty.

Ingredients:

• All natural pizza dough from the deli
• 1/3 to 1/2 a bag of DAIYA “cheese”
• 1 to 2 Italian Sausage by Tofurky (sliced/diced)
• Note: adding firm diced tofu would also be delicious….or spinach, garlic, mushrooms, bell pepper….get creative!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Roll out the dough and flatten.
3. Add “cheese” and Tofurky “sausage”.
4. Roll it back up.  Close it up.  My husband just rolled it up like a burrito.  But, you can roll it however you want to do it.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes…until the outside is golden and crusty and the inside is fully cooked (dough done, cheese melted, etc.)
6. Enjoy!

This is how it looked before it was rolled up into a burrito calzone

Note: putting cornmeal on your pizza stone or pizza pan will help the dough not stick to it.

Some people stay away from over processed “cheeses” that have weird ingredients, but, I found that the ingredients in Daiya to be the best alternative (read below).  I think it is better than the cow breast milk cheese because it does not have the hormones, casein, extra fat, etc.  Dairy products are linked to cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, allergies, and even cancer.
