Calzone!

This is a great recipe. The dough is incredible and the final product is so delicious! Mine doesn't look very pretty but it tastes sooooo good. It's the best kind of pizza because you can hold it and eat it and not get messy like you do with a normal pizza. It's easy and fun to make, just make sure you get all the toppings you want on it. I almost forgot the cheese and had to unwrap it all and put it on! I'm very glad I remembered. Anyways here is the recipe!

Pizza Dough

Ingredients:
2 1/2 to 3 c. flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 package (2 1/4 tsp.) yeast
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 c. very warm water

Directions:

1. Combine yeast, sugar, 1 c. of the flour, and salt in a large bowl.
   
2. Add the warm water and oil; mix well.
3. Stir in remaining flour slowly until dough is soft but not sticky; knead until smooth.
4. Let dough rise in a warm spot for at least 30 minutes.

Calzone Directions:

1. Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle the length of your baking sheet (it can be wider than your sheet though).
2. Place onto baking sheet and put sauce on the center half of the dough. Add your favorite toppings then the cheese.
3. Next cut the dough on the sides at about 3/4 inch intervals (it's easier to use kitchen scissors for this part). Don't cut all the way to the filling.
4. Wrap the strips in a lattice pattern. Start at the bottom and alternating sides, overlap the strips of dough onto the filling. You can stretch the pieces to fit all the way over the filling.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Once done remove to a wire rack to cool. Cut it into slices and enjoy!
