Instructions
    Garlic Bread Flavored Pizza and Calzone Dough
  1. Add 2 2/3 cups of filtered (or bottled) cool or room temperature water to a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle in the yeast.
  3. Add the potato flakes, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, and butter extract to the water and stir.
  4. Add all of the flour and mix until it starts to come together.
  5. Start mixing and then kneading the dough with your hands. Knead for a couple of minutes in the bowl. You'll have a shaggy somewhat sticky dough, don't worry it'll look more like pizza dough later!
  6. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to rise for between 18 and 24 hours. About halfway through the rise time punch down the dough and knead it for a minute or two in the bowl.
  7. After at least 18 hours remove it from the fridge. It should have at least doubled in size.
  8. Punch down the dough and stretch and fold the dough over several times in the bowl.
  9. Now it looks like beautiful smooth pizza dough!
  10. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about an hour. While it rests you can begin prepping any calzone filling or pizza topping you want to use.
  11. After the dough rests, peel and finely mince two cloves of garlic.
  12. Melt the butter, add the minced garlic and garlic powder and mix. Set aside.
  13. Follow the appropriate instructions in the article at the top of this page. To make breadsticks, follow the breadstick instructions, etc.
    14. White Pizza Calzone Filling
  14. Add frozen spinach to a large bowl.
  15. On high heat brown the mushrooms in about a tsp of olive oil. While the brown dice the onion. Add mushrooms to the spinach bowl.
  16. Add the butter, diced onion, and sausage to the pan and brown on high heat. Make sure to break up the sausage well. Turn off the heat. Add the sausage mixture to the bowl.
  17. Add the salt and basil to the bowl and mix. Set aside to cool until its just warm.
  18. Add about half a 15 oz jar of alfredo sauce to the bowl.
  19. Roughly chop the provolone and, if not using pearls, the mozzarella. Add to the bowl.
  20. Chop two medium tomatoes and add to the bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
