Pizza Dough

My mother has a cookbook called The New Doubleday Cookbook. It's copyright day is 1975 and it looks like it. There is no hardcover anymore but this book is amazing. It has everything about cooking I've ever wanted to know. So here's the recipe that I found in it for Pizza Dough.

1/4 cup of warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
4 and 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 and 1/4 cups of lukewarm water
2 tablespoons olive or other cooking oil

Pour luke warm water into a warm large bowl, sprinkle in yeast, and stir to dissolve. Mix in 2 cups flour, the salt and sugar. Add lukewarm water and oil and beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour and knead on a lightly floured board until elastic. Shape into a ball, turn in greased bowl to grease all over, cover, and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

This can be used as a pizza dough or calzone dough. I used it for a calzone dough.
