Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings ½ cup lukewarm water 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast ½ cup water 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons honey ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting Directions Mix together 1/2 cup lukewarm water and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Combine 1/2 cup water, olive oil, honey, and salt in a large mixing 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. Knead dough on a floured work surface until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll dough into 4 calzone shapes or 1 large pizza. Tips The dough should be as "soft as a horse's nose" after kneading. To Make Calzone or Pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fill the dough with your favorite ingredients, or if used as a pizza crust, top with your favorite toppings. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
