Gluten-Free Spinach and Feta Calzone

Ingredients:

For the Gluten-Free Pizza Dough:

• 2 cups gluten-free pizza flour
• 1 cup warm water (approximately 110°F)
• 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Filling:

• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg for egg wash (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
2. To make the dough, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. Add the gluten-free pizza flour, salt, and mix until a dough begins to form. Drizzle in olive oil and knead until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the calzone filling.
4. Divide the pizza dough into two equal parts. Roll each piece into a circle on parchment paper.
5. Place half of the cheese and spinach filling on one side of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
6. Gently fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.
7. If desired, brush the top of the calzones with a beaten egg for a shiny finish.
8. Carefully transfer the calzones (with the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the calzones are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
