Anna Teresa Callen’S Pizza And Calzone Dough

• 2 packets (or 1 tablespoon) active dry yeast
• 3 1/2 cups organic unbleached flour (or substitute whole wheat flour for half of the measure)
• 1 cup lukewarm water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the oil and the yeast mixture. With your hand, stir the flour into the liquid and gather the mixture into a ball.
2. Turn dough out onto a floured board, or proceed to knead it in the bowl. Knead and slap the dough until it is smooth and elastic (like a baby's bottom). While kneading, add a little more flour, if necessary. Dough must be smooth, elastic, and not sticky.
3. Gather dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Set the bowl in a warm place, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
4. Punch dough down, and knead a little. Shape into a ball, and let rise again (for about 1 hour). At this point, dough is ready to use.
5. Teacher's Tip: After the first rising, dough can be punched down and refrigerated or frozen. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator overnight.
