The dough should be as “soft as a horse’s nose” after kneading.

To Make Calzone or Pizza:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fill the dough with your favorite ingredients, or if used as a pizza crust, top with your favorite toppings. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
