Cooking Instructions!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir 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 damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a circle.
Spread marinara sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the sauce with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, sliced black olives, dried oregano, and a sprinkle of salt.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
Place the mini calzones on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy these delightful mini calzones!
