Calzones

  • 1 (25 oz) package active dry yeast
  • 1 c warm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 c spaghetti sauce
  • 3 c shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 pkg pepperoni
  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay dough in a bowl, cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled.

  • When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 2 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Transfer dough to cookie sheet. Coat circles with spaghetti sauce (but leave 1 inch of dough around the edges without sauce). Place pepperoni and cheese over sauce on one half of the circle. Fold other half over and press edges together with a fork to secure. Poke holes in the top with a fork. Brush with 1 tsp olive oil.

  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
