1 cup warm water
1 1/2 -2 tbsp yeast (i like mine yeasty and to rise a lot)
1-2 tbsp sugar or honey
Mix and let yeast rise for about 10 mins
Add about 4 cups flour and 1tsp salt in a bowl (I use 1/2 wheat and 1/2 unbleached reg)
Add 1/4 cup olive oil to yeast mixture
Then pour liquid into flour/salt bowl.
Stir into a dough ball. Cover with some oil, then cover with a towel, plastic wrap, whatever and let rise a little. I don't always let mine rise, sometimes I let it rise 20 mins while I get the rest of the stuff ready.

Oven to 400 degrees. You can divide dough into 4 smaller pieces or 2 pieces for large calzones (my preference) Roll it out, square, triangle, round, whatever, as long as you can fold it over later.
(this is kevins, sans vegetables...sigh)I add ricotta, mozzarella, (sometimes parm) veggies (chopped onions, peppers, mushrooms) and chopped pepperoni (or sausage) Fold in half and pinch to seal. Can brush with butter or egg if desired. I use whatever meat/veggies are in the fridge. I prefer to keep the sauce on the side for dipping, but I have put sauce inside before.
