Calzones

1 pkg active dry yeast
1 C warm water
1 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 -3 C flour, divided

milk to brush on top of calzones (or olive oil if no dairy)

1/2 -1 TBSP pizza sauce(see recipe on this site) for each calazone
pizza toppings you desire for filling


1. In a mixer with a kneading hook, place warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt.  Let stand for several minutes. 
2. Dump in flour, and mix in.  Scrape down sides if necessary.  Then turn up the mixer to knead for 4-5 minutes.
3.  Take our hook, and let rise for twenty minutes. 
4.  On a floured surface, take out dough and divide in half.  Roll out one half and divide into 4-8 segments with a knife. (you can make these small or large, snack size or dinner size) 
5. Put a small amount of pizza sauce in the center.  Then add cheese or other ingredients to half of the calzone.  Fold over the other half, and pinch edges of calzone using a fork to press down.  Then using the fork prick the top several times.
6. Place on greased cookie sheet and baste with a small amount of milk on the top of the calzone.
7. When all are done, place in a preheated oven of 375 Degrees for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of you calzone.
ENJOY!
**I doubled this recipe and made 12 very large calzones.  If you want to make smaller ones, they are a perfect replacement for "hot pockets".  Just let cool on a cookie cooling rack, then wrap in plastic wrap well, and place in a freezer bag.  Pull them out whenever you need a snack.
