1 1/2 cups warm water, 105 to 115 degrees
1 envelope of dry yeast
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
4 cups or more of all purpose flour
1 envelope of dry yeast
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
4 cups or more of all purpose flour
Pour 1 1/2 cups of warm water into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast. Let this
stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix in oil and salt. Add 3
3/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until blended. Turn the dough
out onto a floured surface. Knead it until it's smooth and elastic, sprinkling
it with more flour if it's sticky, for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a large oiled bowl; turn it to coat it with oil. Cover the
bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm draft-free area until it
doubles in size, about an hour and 15 minutes.
Punch down the dough. Knead it on a lightly floured surface until smooth,
about one minute. For Stromboli or Calzone, divide it into four equal balls.
Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to a 9-inch diameter.
