CALZONES - Mary's

Ingredients (scaled)

1 servings

Directions

In a large skillet, combine sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic; cook until tender. Stir in tomato paste, oregano, basil, sugar and pepper along with 1 to 1 1/2 cups water. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes. Let cool while dough is rising.

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let activate in warm place, about 5 minutes.

In large bowl, put 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and oil. Add additional flour until dough is stiff. Pour out onto floured bread board. Knead in additional flour until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl, cover, let rise in a place free from draft, about 45 minutes.

Stir in Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses into sausage mixture.

Punch down dough; divide into 16 equal pieces or fewer for larger ones. Form 8 of them into balls and put in the fridge. Form remaining 8 into balls. These will be the first batch. Roll each piece on a lightly floured board to a 6-inch circle. On one side of circle, spoon 1/3 cup filling. Fold plain half over filling, pinching edges well to seal. Place on greased baking sheets and press edges together with the tines of a fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 11 to 15 minutes. Serve warm. 16 calzones.
