Easy Calzone - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    450 g plain flour or bakers flour
    7 g sachet dried yeast
    1 tsp caster sugar
    1 tsp salt
    300 ml lukewarm water
    None None shredded cheese, char-grilled vegetables, salami, ham or cooked bacon, pitted olives, tomato, to fill
Preparation
    In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well in centre. Gradually add water, stirring to form a soft dough (you may need an extra 50ml water to do this).
    Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl; set aside, covered with a clean tea towel, until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
    Preheat oven to moderate, 180\u00b0C./ 160\u00b0C. fan. Gas mark 4. Lightly grease 2 oven trays.
    Punch down dough with fist; knead 2-3 minutes, then divide into 6 pieces. Roll out on lightly floured surface into 15cm rounds.
    Top with filling of choice. Brush edges with water; fold dough over and press to seal. Set aside 15 minutes, to rise slightly.
    Bake 20-25 minutes, until calzone are golden. Serve with salad, if liked.
