Quick Rise Dough

This is a recipe I use all the time for pizza dough, hot pockets, calzones, bread sticks, and quick rolls (the rolls aren't very fluffy though, just quick).

4 cups flour (divided)
4 1/2 tsp. quick rise yeast
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups water
3 TBS olive oil (or veg. oil)

Directions:
1 - Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, brown sugar, and salt in large bowl.
2 - Heat water to 120 degrees (I pop it in the microwave for 1 minute - NOT to boiling). Add oil to water.
3 - Add the oil/water mixture to flour mixture.
4 - Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough (at least 1 cup).
5 - Knead until smooth (4 minutes)
6 - Cover and rise 15 minutes

Shape and Bake at 375 degrees:
20 minutes rolls
25-30 minutes calzones / hot pockets
18-20 minutes bread sticks

For Pizza: Roll out and top with favorite toppings. Bake 10 minutes until cheese melted.
