If Calzone were a Middle Easter dish would be something like a Gosleme. Simple dough (vegan) filled with your favorite ingredients. I chose Chicken, Pesto, Sundried Tomatoes for an Italian flavor profile.
Gosleme is cooked on the stovetop or a griddle. Easy, simple, delicious.
Give it a try.

Prepare the filling
To prepare the Sourdough Gosleme filling:
Place all ingredients minus the chicken into the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse to incorporate, the transfer the mix to a large bowl. Fold in the chicken. Taste for salt and balance.
To assemble the Gosleme:
Divide the dough into 4 portions.
Roll each one into a circle of about 12″ diameter.
Distribute the filling over 2 of the circles staying shy of the border by about 2 inches.
Top with the other circles and flatter lightly with your hands. Roll the border like in the picture below by pinching it.
Cook in a pre heated pan (gas setting medium /5) for about 5 minutes per side until fully cooked and charred to perfection.
Enjoy!
