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
amost 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 375F.
When dough is ready, punch it down and seperate
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 375F for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
