Homemade Calzone

Calzone or Pizza recipe
Here's an easy dough recipe that I use to make Pizza or Calzone.
It's quick, easy and very delicious.

2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. white sugar
1 cup lukewarm water
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 TBSP. olive oil
1 tsp. salt

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. In a good size bowl add water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit approximately 10-15 minutes, the yeast should get fluffy and foamy on top. Stir in the rest of the ingredients until everything is mixed nicely. The dough should not be overly sticky or dry, if it is add a bit more water or flour to compensate. Place a towel over the bowl and let the dough rest for about 10-15 minutes.  Lightly sprinkle flour on your preparation surface and roll or stretch the dough into a round shape for pizza or a rectangle for Calzone. I've found that not overworking the dough creates a soft, light dough. Place dough on either a very large pizza round or a cookie sheet. When making a double batch I bake them side by side. Sprinkle with approximately 8-12 oz of mozzarella cheese and any other toppings you like, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms etc. For Calzone pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Melt half a stick of butter, then brush the butter over the surface of the Calzone and lift half gently and spread butter underneath also. Bake for about 30 minutes, keeping an eye on the dough. When Calzone is golden brown, remove from the oven.
For pizza: Create a sauce of tomato paste and sauce of the desired consistency and add Italian seasoning. Spread on dough before adding toppings.  For Calzone, serve the sauce as a dipping sauce on the side. I double this recipe and divide the dough at the rolling stage.
