Ingredients
Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
Filling:
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
To start, make the dough by combining the flour, salt, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and yeast until the yeast is dissolved. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, spinach, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large circle. Place the filling on one half of the circle, leaving a border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal the calzone. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with some additional oregano. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
This Greek calzone is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.

The possibilities are endless with this versatile dish. So next time you're in the mood for a calzone, give this Greek version a try and impress your taste buds with a new and delicious flavor combination.
