Pizza/Calzone Dough

• 1 Package Yeast           
• 1 Cup Warm Water
• 1 Tbl Olive Oil
• 1 tsp.  Sugar
• 1/2 tsp. Salt (optional substitution: garlic salt)                
• 2 1/2-3 Cups Flour (All purpose)
• Honey
• 1 tsp Basil (optional)
• 1 tsp Oregano (optional)

1. Sprinkle yeast onto water and add one large squirt of honey. Let sit for 5 minutes. 
2. Add oil sugar and salt and water mixture in medium sized bowl and stir well. 
3. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour and mix well. Add remaining flour if dough is really wet. Knead well. Let rise until doubled in bulk. 
4. Optional: Add basil and oregano to dough while adding flour. Make sure mixture is mixed well.
5. On pizza pan spray with non-stick spray and add 1-2 tablespoons of cornmeal onto pan. Roll out dough to the size of the pan. For thick crust, use the whole dough, for thin crust, use half of the dough.

Pizza: After adding dough to the pan let rise for 1/2 hour more then add ingredients on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Calzone:

1. Use half of the dough. Roll out as if you are making a pizza.
2. Spread pizza sauce over half of the dough leaving 1 inch border around the "crust". Cover with cheese then toppings then more cheese. 
3. Fold over non-topping side onto the toppings. Wrap the bottom "crust" border over the top of the calzone and pinch closed. 
4. Top with 1 Tbl. Butter, Parmesan Cheese, Garlic Salt and Parsley. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Freezer Idea: I will frequently freeze half the dough. Leave out for 2 hours to thaw prior to making pizza. Microwave on low for 1 minute if not completely thawed.
