Perfect Every Time Pizza or Calzone Dough

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Mix 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.

Combine 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.

Knead dough on a floured work surface until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll dough into 4 calzone shapes.
