    Vegan Naan Calzone | Vegan Richa

    These easy Naan calzones are great as a carry out lunch or a change from the usual pizza. The calzones are filled with spicy tofu and pea scramble, vegan cheese and sriracha. You can also make these into Naan Pizzas. Shape the dough into oval Naan flatbreads. Add a layer of marinara or pizza sauce, spread the scramble, vegan cheese, bake and serve. 

    The dough for Naan flatbreads always makes soft and puffy Naans. The key to the softest naan is a soft and somewhat sticky dough with enough moisture. Add less flour to begin with and add more if needed. It is easier to add more flour to a sticky dough and than to incorporate water into a stiff dough. The Naan dough is made into calzones with the nigella seeds on top for the naan flavor. The filling is a simple tofu and pea scramble spiced with spices and green chili. 

    For variation, use well cooked chickpeas or beans or tempeh for the scramble filling. For gluten-free Naan dough to use in the recipe, see my cookbook.

    Ingredients

    • 1 recipe Naan Dough

    Tofu and Pea scramble:

    • 1 tsp oil
    • 1/3 to 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
    • 1/2 cup (75 g) red onion
    • 1 hot green chili
    • 2 cloves of garlic minced
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) paprika
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) ground coriander
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) mustard powder or garam masala
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) turmeric powder
    • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne
    • 1/8 tsp (0.13 tsp) kala namak/Indian black salt for the eggy taste optional
    • 1 medium tomato chopped small
    • 1 Tbsp water
    • 2 tsp nutritional yeast optional
    • 14 oz (396.89 g) pack firm Tofu crumbled. I use Nasoya organic non gmo
    • 1/3 cup (48.33 g) green peas thawed if frozen
    • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (1/4 tp 1/2 tsp) salt to taste
    • a very generous dash of black pepper
    • lemon juice and cilantro for garnish
    • Vegan cheese shreds
    • nigella seeds and vegan butter as needed for the calzones

    Instructions

    • Preprare the Naan dough and let it sit to rise for an hour.
    • Tofu Pea Scramble:Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeeds and cook for a minute or until they change color. Add onions, chili and garlic and cook until just about translucent. 3-4 minutes.
    • Add spices and mix well. Add tomato, water and nutritional yeast, mix and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until tomatoes are saucy.
    • Mash/crumble the tofu with hands or chop small and add to the pan. Add the peas. Mix well, cover and cook for 5 minutes. If the scramble begins to stick, deglaze with a Tbsp of water. I don’t press the Tofu before use, so usually there is enough moisture to prevent sticking.
    • Taste and adjust salt and spice. Lower the heat to low-medium and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
    • Sprinkle black pepper, lemon juice and cilantro(optional) and keep aside to cool.
    • Make Calzones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc. Divide the dough into 7 to 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a circle.
    • Place tofu and pea scramble on half the circle. Add vegan cheese shreds of choice. Drizzle a little bbq sauce or sriracha or mango chutney other sauce of choice (optional). Fold the other half over to form a half moon and seal with a fork. Shape all the calzones and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
    • Spray water generously on the calzones. Sprinkle nigella seeds and press in.Let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
    • Bake for 11 to 14 minutes or until golden. Brush melted vegan butter and serve with marinara, mango chutney or other sauce/dip of choice.

      These look amazing and the peas are just coming up in my garden! Can I freeze the basic naan dough? I’ve been looking at the recipes for naan bread on the website and they look wonderful but, there’s only 2 of us!! Would I be ok to freeze the uncooked dough?

        yes you can. freeze wrapped in plastic wrap. Thaw for 2-3 hours or until room temperature and proceed to divide into balls and shape.

        vegan butter betty. its a vegan blog. everything used is vegan even if there isnt a vegan word in front of it. Imagine a recipe instruction that reads, take vegan milk, blend with vegan butter and vegan flax eggs, vegan chocolate, and vegan cream, add vegan cheese and vegan broth and vegan sugar 🙂
