Breads From: Amy’s Cafe
Ingredients
1 cup lukewarm water
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
3 cup flour, plus extra for dusting
1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
In a bowl, combine the water, yeast, salt and sugar, and stir to dissolve. Set aside for 15 minutes, then add the flour, and mix until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead for 10 minutes, adding more flour if necessary. The dough should feel smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a bowl, and place dough inside. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Quarter the dough, and shape each piece into a ball. Cover, and let rise another 15 minutes. Makes enough dough for 4 calzones.
Seal by crimping the edges of the dough with your fingers or the times of a fork. Brush calzone with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 2 teaspoons water). Trim the excess dough, make a small incision on the top, and bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Artisan Discussion
This is my standard Italian Bread recipe. It’s derived from a recipe in Clayton, “The Breads of France.”
This bread is made with all white bread flour, but you can substitute up to 20% whole wheat flour with no change in the recipe. I’ve modified the recipe to accommodate my style:
- I made a poolish of 200 grams each bread flour and water and 8 ml / 1/2 teaspoon yeast.
- I left the poolish on the counter overnight.
- I added an autolyse of 25 minutes after initial mix and before adding salt and doing the kneading.
- I did three fermentation periods, two of one hour separated by a fold, then another fold and a final fermentation period of 30 minutes.
- You can also do a simpler method: ferment for 2 hours, then fold and ferment for 30 minutes.
- You can choose the fermentation method that fits your schedule.
- Final rise period after shaping was 50 minutes.
