Preparation

Step 1

Combine 2 cups of the flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add water and oil. Stir well. Then add another 2 cups. Stir together, then place dough onto a lightly greased, and floured, surface. (1/2 cup of flour is reserved for kneading and rolling dough.) Knead until smooth, around 5 – 10 minutes.

Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise for around 1 hour.

Punch dough down and cut dough into 6 equal pieces.

Roll out one piece of dough into rectangle shape, around 8 inches by 7 inches.

Brown sausages in frying pan. Then cut into 40 pieces. (6 will be used per calzone, with some left over.)

Put sauce, cheese and sausages on 1/2 of the dough. Fold over and pinch edges to seal. Then put a few holes in top of dough with fork.

Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 12 minutes. Repeat with rest of dough. Brush top of each finished calzone with butter.
