Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about 1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then stack them in a little pile.
- Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.

MINI SPINACH-FETA CALZONE POCKETS (NO PHYLLO!)
I'm on a spinach feta craze right now. I'm not fond of most phyllo doughs but loooove pizza dough. I like calzones that don't have ricotta. How to satisfy all three? This concoction that was a lot of fun to make! Feel free to use another pizza dough recipe or a tube/bag of storebought dough, you need something that yields about one 12" pizza. Some Greek seasoning owuld also probably work great in this. A can with about a 5" diameter works as a nice cutter, so does a 10-oz ramekin or wide biscuit cutter. Cook/prep time doesn't account for the pizza dough. Depending on the dough yield and how much filling you put in each cutout, yields about 10-12 mini calzones.

Steps:
- Run the spinach through a food chopper/processor until it has about the same consistency as tabouleh, then put into a mixing bowl.
- Finely grate the feta cheese with a grater or food chopper then mix with the spinach.
- Add all the other ingredients on the list except the dough to the bowl and mix thoroughly-- except the olive oil, make sure just 1 tablespoon of oil goes in the mix.
- Roll the pizza dough onto a floured surface and make cutouts, about 10-12.
- Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of spinach mixture (approx, I just used a serving spoon) into the center of each cutout. Place each cutout on a cookie sheet greased with cooking spray.
- Fold the cutouts over so they resemble little calzones. Make sure that there are no pointy edges or tops because they'll burn easily.
- With the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, brush the tops of the calzones. About 1 tablespoon should be enough to lightly brush them all.
- Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-washed spinach.
- For a crispier pocket, brush the tops with olive oil before baking.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Top with a dollop of tzatziki sauce for a creamy and flavorful addition.
- Experiment with different fillings, such as sautéed mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or crumbled sausage.
