New York Style Pizza & Calzone Crust
"This is a combination of 2 different recipes I found. This makes a little denser crust. It is also perfect for garlic rolls....
This is easiest to make in a mixer you mix it fairly wet. I wouldn't know how to do it in a bread machine, but I bet you could.
Also, I occasionally add Parmesan Cheese, granulated garlic or Italian herbs in with the second half of the flour."

Cook and ex-restaurant manager and owner. Have worked in every kind of kitchen, in every position...tho' washing dishes wasn't my favorite! Have cooked and served everything from BBQ and Tex-Mex to an Italian - Mediterranean fusion with a steak house and brew pub thrown in for fun!!
Now a stay-at-home mom and photographer. I don't have a favorite cookbook anymore...Thanks to Recipezaar, they are all on the shelf, collecting dust!!
I love cooking for my family and friends, I love anything that has to do with my son (ok, maybe not the potty training).
I love baseball and football (mostly baseball) especially watching it with my family while eating great food...
We love to camp (especially the cooking!) and we love the beach.
