This calzone pizza dough is ready in a snap; my kids love it! 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.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups lukewarm water
  • 1 , .25 ounce
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour , plus more for dusting

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix together 1/2 cup lukewarm water and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    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.
