Wash the eggplants, then brush them with olive oil.
Bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30 minutes until tender.
While the eggplants are baking, slice the onion and sauté it in a pan with olive oil until golden.
Wash and dice the tomatoes, then add them to the pan with the onions.
Stir in the tomato paste and your choice of spices.
Let the mixture simmer and thicken until it reaches your desired consistency.
Spread the moussaka mixture over one half of the pizza dough.
Carefully fold the dough over to cover the filling and seal the edges tightly.
Bake the calzone in the oven at the highest temperature until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown.
For extra flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or oregano into the moussaka mixture.
Make sure to seal the edges of the calzone tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the outside of the calzone with olive oil before baking.
Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
Yes, store-bought pizza dough works perfectly fine for this recipe if you don't have time to make your own.
Can I add cheese to the filling?
Absolutely! If you're not following a vegan diet, adding cheese like mozzarella or feta can enhance the flavor.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free pizza dough to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover calzones in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
Can I freeze the calzones?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked calzones. Bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
