Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Heat a heavy-based pan over
a medium heat and toast the fennel seeds until fragrant. Add the pizza sauce and dried oregano and bring to a simmer. Take off the heat and stir in the artichokes, tomatoes and olives. - Roll out both dough balls on a lightly floured surface to roughly 28cm circles. Divide the tomato mixture between each circle, leaving a 2cm border on one side and about 6cm on the other, then top with the mozzarella. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, then fold over to create a pasty/calzone shape. Press the edges to seal, then fold the edge back over itself and crimp to seal again. Brush the dough with some of the reserved oil.
- Bake on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper for about 15 minutes or until golden and puffed. Serve half a calzone per person with a bitter leaf salad.
