Calzones

1 T or PKG of active dry yeast
1 c warm water
1 T olive oil
1 t white sugar
1 t salt
2 1/2 c flour (divided)
1 egg beatened
1 T italian seasoning
1 1/2 c mozzerella cheese or ricotta cheese

toppings of your choice: (I usually use this combination)
olives
pepperoni
peppers
onions
ham

Mix yeast and sugar together in a bowl and pour the warm water over it. Let yeast activate for 5-10 minutes. Then mix in oil, salt, and 1 c of flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until the dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough for 5 minutes or until elastic. Lay dough in an oiled bowl and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Mix cheese, italian seasoning, and topping together in a bowl and refrigerate to chill.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Seperate dough into six parts. Roll out and place filling in the dough and seal shut. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush with beatened egg.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with marinara sauce.
