Perfect Every Time Pizza or Calzone Dough Recipe

Recipe by: Angela

"Ready in a snap and my kids love it! This can be used for pizza dough too. My dear chef friend Darrin Gleason shared this recipe with me over ten years ago while attending college. It has been a go-to recipe for my family for all these years and I thought I should share it with my cooking community."

1Mix 1/2 cup lukewarm water and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
2Combine 1/2 cup water, olive oil, honey, and salt in a separate bowl; add 1 cup flour and mix well. Mix yeast mixture into flour mixture. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is well combined.
3Knead dough on a floured work surface until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll dough into 4 calzone shapes.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fill dough with your favorite flavors or if using as a pizza crust, top with your favorite toppings. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Dough shoud be as "soft as a horse's nose" after kneading.
