Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil, sugar, salt and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  3. Press dough into a 12x10-in. rectangle in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Top with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

I have been making this recipe for years to make homemade calzones, pizza and grilled flatbread pizza. It always comes out perfectly and doubles and triples well. This batch will make one large pizza or two to three calzones. —Patricia Prescott, Manchester, New Hampshire
