Method
Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add olive oil, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Add spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Assemble the Calzones
Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 7-inch circle. Place a generous spoonful of filling on one half of the circle, fold over, and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
Bake the Calzones
Place calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
