I use this dough for my pizza. It is the best dough I ever made. It makes a perfect crust with a crunchiness that I love.

I made this dough for the calzone recipe but I used King Arthurs Unbleached Whole Wheat flour instead. I cut the recipe in half since it was the first time using it and I didn't want to waste if we didn't like it. Turned out great! With the halved reciped it made two huge calzones about 12" in diameter. Next time I'll make the full recipe and freeze some calzones for another day. Possibly even making them personal size so they're easier to pack for hubby's lunch!
