Steps

• Mix the warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni slices, sliced mushrooms, and black olives. Sprinkle dried oregano on top.
• Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
• Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from the oven and let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

• You can customize the filling by adding your favorite pizza toppings such as cooked sausage, bell peppers, or onions.
• Serve the calzone pizza with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
