Recipe

• 1 dough: mix together water, yeast, 4 cups wheat flour, salt, and oil.
• 2 add flour until you have a dough that follows the spoons around the bowl but still sticks to the sides of the bowl. let dough rise to double (about an hour), punch down, and shape. i don't let mine rise again once i've shaped it, but it does some rising of its own as it cooks.
• 3 fillings: ooooh, just have fun!
• 4 depending on the filling, top calzones for the last 5 minutes of baking with: egg wash, honey glaze, extra cheese.
• 5 also, make extra liquid parts when you make the fillings and freeze along with the calzones for a dipping sauce.
• 6 be sure to wrap with a paper towel when reheating in the microwave.
• 7 (reheating in toaster oven is preferable.).
• 8 cook calzones at 300°f for 30 minutes.
• 9 these can be frozen before or after cooking. when cooking a raw, frozen calzone, cook for 50 minutes at 300°f.
