I love pizza. Its one of my favourite Friday night comfort foods and homemade pizza is a semi-regular occurrence at home. This week, my dad wanted to spice things up and decided we should make a calzone, which is essentially inside out an pizza. It feels like double the carbs, but is definitely double the fun.

Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

1 lb whole wheat pizza dough (I used Whole Foods brand) 3 small yellow onions, chopped 3 small mushrooms, chopped 4-5 sundried tomatoes, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped 1 – 1.5 cups of Daiya cheese 3 cups of kale (remove large stems)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350˚ Stretch out dough on a floured pizza pan to rest Sauté peppers, garlic, mushrooms, and onions in olive oil for 5-8 minutes Add in kale and sauté until wilted Mix in sundried tomatoes for a final 2 minutes Add half of vegetables onto one side of pizza dough Add half of cheese Add the second half of the vegetables onto the same side, and the remainder of the cheese Fold over pizza dough and pinch the edges Bake for 10 minutes Cut and serve!

All of the vegetables harmonize very well and are even better held together by the irresistible Daiya Cheese. One of my favourite parts was the Whole Foods dough: it was super flavourful and produced a hard shell for the calzone with a nice and soft crust at the edge.

Of course, I ended up eating way more than I should have. But after a hard week at school, it was worth it!
