Leek & mushroom calzone with spelt flour

Calling all calzone lovers! This recipe for calzone made of spelt flour is packed with nutrients and flavours.

Spelt flour is a true discovery for me. As opposed to the regular white flour, it is a far healthier choice, yet it has a lovely, almost sweet taste and it is very simple to use for baking.

It’s elastic quality made it a perfect choice for different savory snacks. If you’re interested in other interesting spelt flour recipes, you should check out these:

Ingredients

• 350 g spelt flour

• 1 baking powder

• 200 g sour cream or Greek yoghurt

• 100 ml olive oil

• 1 tsp salt

• For the filling

• 300 g mushrooms

• 1 leek

• Salt and pepper

• Dried basil and oregano

• Around 50 g of yellow cheese

Directions

• Mix all the ingredients to prepare the dough, and leave it to rest for about 20 mins.
• In the meantime, make the filling: saute the leek and mushrooms until completely soft and cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Add the dried oregano and basil, and stir well.
• Preheat the oven to 200 C.
• Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough until you get the desired thickness. To prepare a calzone, use a glass to cut circles. Fill the circles with the filling and top with a cube of the cheese.
• Fold the calzone and use a fork to press the two edges.
• Bake the calzone for about 25 mins at 200 C, or until golden. Enjoy!
