To Make Dough- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in
water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 cup
of the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the
rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and
workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface
for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay
dough in a bowl containing 1 teaspoon olive oil,
then flip the dough, cover and let rise for 40
minutes, or until almost doubled.
To Make Filling- While dough is rising, combine the
ricotta cheese, Cheddar cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms
and basil leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover
bowl and refrigerate to chill.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it
into 2 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin
circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each
circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and
fold over, securing edges by folding in and
pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each
calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased
cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30
minutes. Serve hot.
