And easy! I will definitely give this dough a try. Thanks for the recipe. In the past couple of years I have searched through various cookbooks and online recipes and never seemed to find the right one that wasn't fully loaded with "extras". This is really simple.

His trick is to make a double batch of the dough ( say, on the weekend) then wrap it in saran wrap in a bowl in the fridge. The only problem we're come across is that sometimes it rises out of the bowl, blob style. Of course we could always use a bigger bowl, but our forethought is never that good. I think the longest we've kept it in the fridge was a couple of days. Additionally, we once made a pizza and then stuck it in the freezer over night before cooking it. It didn't turn out at crisp as it would have had we baked it right away, but it still did the trick. hope this helps!

It won't go "bad", right?

Makes for some easy mid-week meal options. It's also a good option for using anything left over in the fridge. Can anyone say broccoli, garlic and mozzarella calzone?

(Just so you know this is my favorite recipe website. I appreciate that you break it down by seasons so that I can glance through and find recipes using ingredients that the local farmers have in season.) So. My question. Is it possible to store this dough for any length of time? I'm going to freeze it tonight, but I want to know what your thoughts are. Thanks so much! j Hi there!
