| In medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and salt; mix well. Add warm water (120-130ºF) and oil. With spoon, mix until almost smooth. The dough will be the consistency of a pancake batter. Gradually stir in remaining flour to make a firm dough. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Pizza/Calzone dough requires less kneading time than other bread dough. Let rest 15 minutes. *Please refer to the photos below for tips on kneading your dough. (Click on the image to view larger) |
