Pizza or Calzone Dough

Instructions
 

  • Follow the Stored-Heat Batter Bread Recipe
  • Once the dough has been kneaded and before putting it into a loaf pan, divide the dough into two or three parts.  (Two parts will make two large, thick-crust pizzas. Three parts will make three large thin-crust pizzas or three small thick-crust pizzas or any combination of these.)
  • Dough can be stored in the fridge for up to three days in sealed containers.
  • Roll out the dough (thick or thin) onto a greased cookie sheet  or pizza pan.
  • Turn oven on for 1 1/2 minutes to lowest setting. Turn off.
  • Place pan in oven and let dough rise to desired height. If the dough is cold from the fridge, it will take about 20 minutes.
  • Turn the oven on to 425 degrees and let the dough start to cook.
  • When the temperature reaches 375 degrees, remove the dough and  add your toppings
  • Return the pizza to the oven at 425 and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until toppings are hot and melted and crust is golden.
  • Suggestions:  >>You can also roll out all three parts of the dough and bake, then freeze it for later use. Just adding toppings and baking at 425 for another 15-20 minutes or until toppings are hot and/or melted.  
    >>For Calzones--roll dough out to 1/8-1/4 inches, cover 1/2 with stuffing, fold other 1/2 over stuffing and pinch edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.     >>Brush or rub dough with oil and top with herbs, or fresh,  chopped veggies or spread with pesto.  >> For Calzones: stuff with chopped broccoli, onions and cheese.
