Used it for pizza and everyone raved! I can't wait to try it with calzones. Definitely a little sticky, but I just kept flouring my hands lightly as I patted it out. I skipped the cornmeal and the prebaking. I put the sauce and toppings on and baked the whole pizza for 22 minutes at 400°F. I used water but can't wait to try it with beer. I think I'm going to try increasing the seasoning a little too. Thanks for posting!!

YUMMY!!! Made the dough in the bread machine for my man when he was gonna make a pot pie casserole. Used water not beer, basil in place of ital seasoning, and all purp flour in place of bread flour. also added a little bit of fried garlic. Turned out great!!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful dough recipe!!

All I can say is WOW!! I made the dough using water, oil, and 1/2 c. whole wheat flour, and used it for calzones. Beautiful texture but a little sticky--needed a little flour incorporated while rolling. They tasted gourmet! For filling I sauteed half an onion in olive oil and butter, added a couple generous handfuls chopped, fresh spinach and a clove of fresh minced garlic and cooked just till wilted, then added a cup and a half of diced ham and sprinkled the mixture with oregano, salt & pepper. I divided the dough into six rounds, rolled out thin, put equal portions of filling plus a generous handful of mozarella & some parmesan and sealed. Then I brushed the tops with olive oil & sprinkled with parmesan cheese, baked at 425 for 15 minutes & dipped in pizza sauce. YUM!!! This will be my pizza dough recipe for sure.

Yummy, no fault pizza dough! I used water instead of beer. I did the initial bake at 425 for 10, then it took another 20 mins or so at 350 with the toppings to finish (probably because I didn't get the crust as thinly spread out as I should have). I've been looking for a good dough for calzones, I will have to do that with this recipe next. Thanks for sharing!!

I have made this dough twice. The first time with water, butter, and a combo of bread and whole wheat flour- it was pretty good. The second time I made it with beer, olive oil (not butter) and all bread flour- it was better than the first time. This recipe is very simple to make and we did enjoy it. I think olive oil instead of butter made a nicer dough. This is a fun recipe to experiment with.
