1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 T. olive oil
1 t. white sugar
1 t. salt
2 ½ c. all-purpose flour, divided
1 t. olive oil
1 ½ c. shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese
½ c. pepperoni
½ c. cooked Italian sausage
½ c. sliced fresh mushrooms
½ c. sliced green peppers
dried basil leaves
1 egg, beaten
To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 c. 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 t. olive oil, then flip the dough, cover and let rise until almost doubled.
When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 3 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each circle with 1/3 of the toppings 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° for 30 minutes. Serve hot with pizza sauce.
