1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil

2 cups mozzarella, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup tomato sauce
5 ounces prosciutto or smoked ham, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons olive oil

  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. Add yeast, sugar and ¼ cup water to a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Combine flour, salt, oil and the rest of the water and mix with the yeast mixture.
  4. Pick up the ball of dough with your hands and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
  5. Divide dough in to 6 equal balls.
  6. Roll out the ball into a circle about ¼" thick and add 1/6 of the cheese, 1/6 of the meat and 1/6 of the tomato sauce.
  7. Fold the dough over to make a half circle and press the edges together making a firm seal.
  8. Repeat until you have 6 calzones.
  9. Brush the tops with olive oil and bake on a non-stick baking sheet until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
