Mini Spinach-feta Calzone Pockets (no Phyllo!)

Description

I'm on a spinach feta craze right now. I'm not fond of most phyllo doughs but loooove pizza dough. I like calzones that don't have ricotta. How to satisfy all three? This concoction that was a lot of fun to make! Feel free to use another pizza dough recipe or a tube/bag of storebought dough, you need something that yields about one 12" pizza. Some Greek seasoning owuld also probably work great in this. A can with about a 5" diameter works as a nice cutter, so does a 10-oz ramekin or wide biscuit cutter. Cook/prep time doesn't account for the pizza dough. Depending on the dough yield and how much filling you put in each cutout, yields about 10-12 mini calzones.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :20 Min

Cook Time : 20 Min

Total Time : 40 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 12
  • 18 easy 30-minute pizza dough ii
  • 3 fresh spinach
  • 4 feta cheese
  • 2 olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 oregano
  • 1⁄4 ground black pepper
  • 1⁄8 paprika
  • 1 nutmeg

Directions

  • Run the spinach through a food chopper/processor until it has about the same consistency as tabouleh, then put into a mixing bowl.
  • Finely grate the feta cheese with a grater or food chopper then mix with the spinach.
  • Add all the other ingredients on the list except the dough to the bowl and mix thoroughly-- except the olive oil, make sure just 1 tablespoon of oil goes in the mix.
  • Roll the pizza dough onto a floured surface and make cutouts, about 10-12.
  • Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of spinach mixture (approx, I just used a serving spoon) into the center of each cutout. Place each cutout on a cookie sheet greased with cooking spray.
  • Fold the cutouts over so they resemble little calzones. Make sure that there are no pointy edges or tops because they'll burn easily.
  • With the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, brush the tops of the calzones. About 1 tablespoon should be enough to lightly brush them all.
  • Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
