These homemade Broccoli and Cheese Calzones from scratch are a perfect lunch, snack or dinner on the go. Make a huge batch then freeze them for busy afternoons or school lunches. Yum!
For the dough: Warm the water in the microwave for about 1 minute.
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the warm water, and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution.
Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour. Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until doubled; this should take about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a circle, about 7 inches across.
Mix filling together. Stir in thawed broccoli. Top each half of dough circle with cheese mixture. Fold dough over filling. Pinch edge and press with fork to seal.
Place calzones on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool for 5 minutes.
Warm marinara sauce, and spoon over warm calzones. Serve with peaches.
