Calzones for Dinner

To change things up from pizza, we had calzones for dinner!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup water (105 degrees)
2 teaspoons yeast
2 1/4 cups (275 grams) all purpose flour
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pizza toppings such as cooked sausage, pepperoni, onions, green peppers, basil, oregano, mozzarella cheese, or provolone
Provide pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions:

1. Proof yeast in warmed water with a tablespoon of flour for about 5 to 10 minutes in stand mixer bowl.
2. Mix in flour, first a cup, then a 1/2 cup at medium speed 4, and then the rest with the salt.
3. Knead for about 5 minutes at slower speed 2 - it should be smooth and not sticky. Add additional flour a tablespoon or so at a time if too sticky.
4. Scoop out dough with one hand, pour olive oil into bowl. Spread oil around bowl.
5. Put dough back in bowl,then flip to coat top and bottom lightly with oil.
6. Cover and let dough rest about an hour to rise and double in size.
7. Put a pizza stone in the over, and start pre-heating the oven to 500 degrees F.
8. After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide into 2 sections.
9. On top of parchment paper, press or roll each dough section into a 10" circle
10. Top 1/2 of each dough section with your favorite pizza toppings.
11. Pull the un-topped side  over the toppings, seal the edges.
12. Brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with some parmesan.
13. Slide both calzones on parchment paper on top of the hot pizza stone.
14. Back for 6 to 8 minutes, checking for doneness - a golden brown crust.
15. Remove from oven. Slice in half to serve 4 people with a green salad.

Carole's Notes:

I'm pretty sure I basically used this pizza dough recipe http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/01/pizza-and-the-limits-of-diy/ which I increased by 50%.
