CALZONES 
1 tbsp. yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. warm water
6 c. flour
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. + 1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 c. room temp. water
1 tsp. salt
2 c. water
1/2 c. cracked wheat

SAUCE:

1 tbsp. sugar
1 tomato, chunked
1 can S&W thick & chunky tomato sauce
2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/2 tsp. basil
Pinch of sage
Clove garlic

FILLINGS:

Grated Mozzarella
Chopped fresh spinach
Mushrooms
Pepperoni
Onions, etc.

I pre-cook the mushrooms and onions in microwave.

Proof yeast - put yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water, let rise. Put flour, melted butter, 1/3 and 1 tablespoon sugar into bowl. Add yeast, 1 1/2 cups water and salt. Boil 2 cups water and add 1/2 cup cracked wheat, cook until wheat is soft (consistency of thick oatmeal). Cool until warm. Add to flour and yeast mixture. Let rise until double (about 1 hour.) Roll out into 6 to 8 inch circles, fill with desired fillings. Fold over like turnover, seal edges.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes on a greased cookie sheet or pizza stone at 425 to 450 degrees. SAUCE: Combine ingredients. Cook on low heat until sugar dissolves. Serve with Calzones.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
