Real Calzones

is real calzone, because there is no tomato sauce INSIDE of it! We eat it at least once a week. Have a bowl of tomato or spaghetti sauce on the table for people to top their calzone with, if desired.

* 1 ounce packet quick active dry yeast
* 1 cup warm water
* 1 teaspoon oil
* 1 teaspoon white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2.5 cups all purpose flour, divided
* 1 teaspoon olive oil
* 0.50 cups Ricotta cheese or cottage cheese

## Directions

Instructions Checklist

* 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 containing 1 teaspoon olive oil, then flip the dough, cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
* To Make Filling: While dough is rising, combine the ricotta cheese, Cheddar cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and basil leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover bowl and refrigerate to chill.
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
* 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. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, securing edges by folding in and pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
* Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
