Stir the flour into a bowl. Add the active dry yeast and sugar and then beat in the stock and sieved tomatoes to make a smooth dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured counter for 10 minutes, then place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and set aside to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, spinach, corn, beans, mushroom, and sweet peas and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato puree and oregano and season well.
Divide the risen dough into 4 equal portions and roll each onto a floured surface to form a 7-inch round. Spoon a quarter of the filling onto one half of each round and top with cheese. Fold the dough over to encase the filling, sealing the edge with a fork. Glaze with beaten egg. Put the calzone on a lightly greased cookie sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 425˚ F for 25-30 minutes, until risen and golden. Transfer to warm plates and serve.
