Two pounds of dough, enough for four large calzoni or two 12- to 13-inch pizzas

Preparation

1. Put the yeast, water and oil into the container of a food processor.
2. Add the flour and salt and process until the mixture becomes a soft but firm and kneadable mixture.
3. If a food processor is not used, soak the yeast in the water and oil. Put the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the yeast liquid and blend by hand.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead briefly. Shape into a ball. Place the ball in a mixing bowl and cover. Let stand until double in bulk, about 45 minutes to an hour. It is now ready to be used for pizzas, calzoni and soon.
