Calzone Crust

Ingredients:
2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. olive oil

Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in water with sugar until foamy.  Takes about 5 min.
2. Add oil and salt and 1 c. of the flour mixing until smooth.
3. With your dough hook add rest of flour and kneed until elastic.  Took me about 5 min on my kitchen aid.
4. In a separate bowl with the last tsp of oil, lay the dough in the oil, flip it and cover and let sit for about 40 min.  It should be almost doubled.
5. Punch dough down lightly.  Twist in half, then twist in thirds so you end with 6 equal balls of dough.  Roll out into thin circles.
7. Fill with desired fillings.  Fold in half and roll and pinch the ends together forming a ridged half moon.
8. Brush with scrambled egg.  Bake at 375° for 30 min.
