Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
2
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
3
While the dough is rising, dice the bell pepper and mince the garlic.
4
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
5
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano and basil, then add the sautéed vegetables and corn.
6
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
7
Spoon the corn and tomato filling onto one half of each dough circle. Crumble the feta cheese over the filling and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg for a golden-brown finish.
9
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to prevent the filling from being too hot and runny.
