Note
Ensure the water for the yeast is warm (105-115 degrees F) but not hot, as excessive heat will kill the yeast.
The dough may be slightly darker and denser than white flour dough due to the whole wheat content; adjust kneading time as needed.
For the ratatouille filling, ensure vegetables are cooked down sufficiently to remove excess moisture before assembling to prevent soggy crust.
If the dough feels too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.
Leftover calzones can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350-degree F oven for 10-15 minutes.
