1
Dough: Mix together water, yeast, 4 cups wheat flour, salt, and oil.
2
Add white flour until you have a dough that follows the spoons around the bowl but still sticks to the sides of the bowl. Let dough rise to double (about an hour), punch down, and shape. I don't let mine rise again once I've shaped it, but it does some rising of its own as it cooks.
3
Fillings: Ooooh, just have fun!
4
Depending on the filling, top calzones for the last 5 minutes of baking with: egg wash, honey glaze, extra cheese.
5
Also, make extra liquid parts when you make the fillings and freeze along with the calzones for a dipping sauce.
6
Be sure to wrap with a paper towel when reheating in the microwave.
