Calzones

     Calzones taste SO good!  If you like bread and pizza, you will love calzones.  You can create them to fit individual tastes.

Calzones:

1 1/4 t yeast
1 c warm water
1 T sugar
1 1/2 t salt
2 T oil
2 c flour

In a large bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar and water until dissolved.  Add the remaining ingredients to form a soft dough.  Knead for 10 minutes.  Place the dough in a greased bowl and let rise for 1 hour covered.  Punch the dough down and divide into 8 pieces.  Roll each piece into a circle and fill half of the dough with desired toppings.  (tomato sauce, sausage, cheese, olives, mushrooms, etc..)  fold the dough over and pinch to seal.  Place calzones on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.  Poke a hole in the top of each calzone to let the steam escape.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
