Vegan Philly Cheesesteak Calzone

This Vegan Philly Cheesesteak Calzone uses the same seitan that we used in my Vegan Seitan Gyro recipe a while back. It's baked and must sit in the fridge overnight for best results.

Ingredients
 

Pizza Dough:

  • ¾ cup Warm Water 115-120F
  • 2 teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil divided

Philly Cheesesteak Filling: 

  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil divided
  • Half of Seitan Loaf
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • A Small Yellow Onion thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tbsps Vegan Worcestershire Sauce I used Annie's
  • 8 oz Bag of Vegan Mozzarella Cheese Shreds or sub vegan provolone
  • 1 tablespoon Almond Milk for egg wash replacement
  • 1 tablespoon Vegan Butter for brushing on top

Instructions

  • Make the Seitan by following the instructions and letting it refrigerate overnight
  • Make the Pizza Dough. Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a medium sized bowl. Then, add in the instant yeast, all purpose flour, and salt on top of the water. Stir with a wooden spoon until crumbly. Then, pour the dough on to a clean surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes or until it comes together in to a smooth ball. Coat a large bowl with the remaining oil and place the dough in to the bowl and turn it over to cover both sides in oil. Cover with a dish towel and let rise for 1 hour. 
  • Prep the Filling: Thinly slice the onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. 
  • Take the seitan out of the fridge and thinly slice half of the loaf. 
  • Add 1 tablespoon of Oil to a large sauce pan on medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and salt. Cook for 6-7 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the Vegan Worcestershire Sauce. Mix well. Remove onions and peppers from pan and set aside. 
  • In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Add the sliced seitan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add in the remaining 2 tbsps of the Worcestershire Sauce. Mix well. Remove from pan and set aside. 
  • Assemble & Bake: Preheat oven to 425F 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Lightly flour a clean surface. 
  • Place the dough on the surface and divide in to 4 pieces. Roll out each piece to be a ¼in thick circle. Doesn't have to be perfect. Sprinkle some of the cheese on half of the circle leaving ½in of dough clean around the edge. Top the cheese off with a layer of seitan, a layer of onions and peppers, and finish it off with more cheese.
  • Pour the almond milk in to a small bowl and lightly brush along the border of the dough. 
  • Now, carefully fold the other side of the dough over the filling and seal the edges. 
  • Continue until all 4 calzones have been made. Then, with a sharp knife score the top of the calzones to allow steam to escape. Carefully transfer each calzone to the prepared baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
