Sprinkle yeast in 1 and 1/2 cup of warm water that's between 110 and 120 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. With dough hook attachment, drizzle in oil until combined with flour and salt. Add sugar and mix.
With mixer on low, pour in water/yeast mixture and mix until just combined.
Coat a seperate mixing bowl lightly with oil.
Pour dough into oiled bowl and cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
Let dough rise 30 minutes on countertop if you plan to use it immediately. Or, refrigerate it up to 3 days. If refrigerated for later use, take out of refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
Divide the dough in to 2 equal parts. Stretch one ball of dough out on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly. Sprinkle cooked and drained sausage evenly over the dough.
Next, spread the cheese evenly over the sausage. Roll up jellyroll-style starting on the long side.
Bake in 375° oven until brown about 25-30 minutes. Slice into pinwheels. Serve plain or with maple syrup.
Yield: Makes 2 - 10-12 inch calzones, 2 strombolis or 2 pizzas
The dough makes enough for 2 stromoli. Wrap one dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate it up to use later.
