"This makes enough for four 12-inch Margherita pizzas, 2 8" square Sicilian-style or for 15 4" calzones.
Nothing like real homemade pizza crust baked on a stone."

This is very similar to the Martha Stewart Living pizza dough. You can make it ahead and let it slow-rise in the fridge for 18-24 hours, punch down, form a ball and use within 5 days. I like to toss mine out and then sprinkle cornmeal on the pan. This crust has a very nice texture, a little crusty, chewy and soft all at once.
