Instructions: To prepare the dough: Place the water in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir in the honey until dissolved. Let stand for 5 minutes. Then add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and flour and salt.

Use a whisk to stir in the salt and flour; when too thick, mix with floured hands. Knead the dough in the bowl by hand or with kneading blade on a hand mixer, adding more flour as needed. The dough should be smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and brush the dough lightly with olive oil.

Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm spot until double in bulk, at least one hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onions and saute about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, salt and pepper and saute 2 minutes, then add the garlic and basil. In a medium bowl, mix together the three cheeses. Add the spinach mixture and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

To assemble the calzones: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees; lightly grease a baking sheet.

Punch down the risen dough and divide into 6 equal pieces (or more to make smaller calzones). On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each dough piece to at least 5 or 6 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.

Place about 3/4 cup filing on one half of the circle, leaving a 1/2 inch rim.

Moisten the edge with a little water to help seal. Fold the dough over the filling and use a fork to seal the edges and poke the top with a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, brush the tops of the calzones with melted butter or olive oil during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Remove from oven and serve hot with a salad.
