1. This is for bread machines.
2. Use the dough setting.
3. When the dough is ready, remove the dough and break it into halves.
4. Peel and slice the eggplant into 1-inch cubes.
5. Sprinkle the eggplant with the juice of one lemon.
6. Saute the garlic in the olive oil.
7. Add the eggplant to the heated olive oil and garlic.
8. Eggplant tends to absorb oil, so make sure that the olive oil is heated before adding the cubed eggplant.
9. Saute until the eggplant starts to become translucent.
10. Continue to saute, making sure not to burn the eggplant.
11. After eggplant has become mostly translucent, add the white wine.
12. Cook until the mixture begins to become dry.
13. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water and cook this mixture until it begins to lose most of its moisture.
14. Let cool.
15. The eggplant should be somewhat mushy; this is OK.
16. Mash the cooked eggplant with a potato masher.
17. Crumble ground beef and brown.
18. Drain off fat from the cooked beef.
19. With half of the focaccia dough, roll it out into a circular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
20. Add half the cooked eggplant mixture, plus half of the meat, on the bottom half of the dough.
21. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup (125 ml) of cheddar cheese over the browned meat.
22. Sprinkle half of the dry spices on top of the cheese.
23. Dip a pastry brush or the tip of your finger into a cup of water.
24. Wet the edges of the dough.
25. Fold the dough in half, over the filling, and crimp the edges together with a fork or your fingers.
26. Carefully place the calzone on a baking sheet or cookie sheet.
27. With a pastry brush, coat the top of the dough with olive oil to aid in browning.
28. Repeat for other half of dough and filling.
