Pizza night at home tonight—first time making calzones, and surprisingly, my pizza turned out round instead of the usual odd shape.

Steps

About 1 hour

1

Pour 1 cup warm water (220 grams) into a bowl and add 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh yeast (5 grams) and 1 teaspoon sugar (5 grams). Mix and let sit for 3 minutes.
2

Add 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (400 grams) and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (20 grams), then mix. Add 1 teaspoon salt (5 grams) and knead for 6 minutes.
3

Cover the dough for the calzones with a towel or lid and let it rise for 10 minutes. Lightly flatten the risen dough, roll it in both directions, and cut it into three equal parts.
4

Shape the three pieces into balls, round them out, and let them rise on the table, covered with a towel, for 30 minutes or until the dough for pizza and calzone has risen enough.
5

Roll each ball with a rolling pin into a uniform disk about 8–9 inches (20–22 cm) wide. Add tomato sauce, mozzarella, and any other toppings you like to the center. Fold over like a giant ravioli, pressing and pinching the edges several times to seal. Bake in a conventional oven for 12 minutes at 450°F (230°C).
