Calzone
1 c warm water
1/2 tsp sugar
1 pkg. HODGSON MILL ACTIVE DRY YEAST
3 c HODGSON MILL 50/50 FLOUR
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
no stick cooking spray
12 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 oz. finely grated Parmesan cheese
3 oz. sliced prosciutto, cut into strips
3 Tbsp. chopped chives
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 c finely grated Parmesan cheese pizza sauce, optional
Combine warm water and sugar with yeast in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Allow yeast to proof for 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, and knead until smooth. Add oil and salt, and gradually blend in remaining flour to make a firm dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and satiny.
Spray a large bowl with no stick cooking spray. Put dough in bowl, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap, then damp towel. Allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, until dough is almost doubled.
Spray a large baking sheet with no stick cooking spray.
Knead down dough and divide into 3 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 9 inch circle. Place 1/3 mozzarella cheese, 1/3 Parmesan cheese, and 1/3 prosciutto on each circle of dough. Top with garlic and chives. Moisten edges and fold over to enclose the filling, pressing edges firmly together.
Place on baking sheet, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place until dough feels light, about 35 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until Calzone is browned. Removed from oven and brush with oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm with pizza sauce, if desired.
