How to Prepare Hummus and Veggie-Stuffed Calzone [Vegan]

Warm up the water. It should still be easy to touch. If it's too hot, you will kill the yeast and the dough won't rise.
Put the yeast, maple syrup (or sugar) and half of the water in a large glass, stir lightly and keep in a warm place until the yeast starts to foam and rise, about 10 minutes.
Put the flour and the salt in a large bowl and mix them.
Add the yeast mixture along with the rest of the water to the bowl. Start combining and kneading with your hand. When the flour and water are more or less combined, add the olive oil.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, using folding and pressing motions. The dough should turn out quite soft and stretchy.
Cover the top of the bowl (stretch film works well), wrap the bowl with towels, and keep in a very warm place if possible. Let the dough rise for about 40 minutes. It should at least double in size.
When the dough has risen enough, split it in half (this makes two large pizzas).
Now is a good time to start pre-heating the oven to 500°F.
Dust a clean surface with flour, take a tennis ball size dough and hand-roll the dough, working from the center outwards.
Spread hummus and the filling mixture over half of the dough.
Fold the dough over in half and pinch the edges together to seal.
Transfer to baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil. Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool five minutes before serving.
