Perfect Every Time Pizza or Calzone Dough
This calzone pizza dough is ready in a snap; my kids love it! My dear chef friend Darrin Gleason shared this recipe with me over ten years ago while attending college. It has been a go-to recipe for my family for all these years, and I thought I should share it with my cooking community.

½ cup lukewarm water
