1 package dry yeast
1/2 cup tepid water
1/8 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup cold milk, plus more, if needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Whisk the yeast, water, and sugar and let bubble up 5 minutes or so to proof. Measure the dry ingredients into the bowl of the processor. Blend the 3/4 cup of milk into the ready yeast mixture. Turn on the machine and process in the yeast, then the oil, and droplets more milk, if needed, just until the dough masses on the blade of the processor.

The dough will be very soft. Let it rest 5 minutes, and it will develop enough body to be processed 2 seconds more in the machine. Then turn in out onto your lightly floured work surface.

Knead 50 strokes by hand, give a 2-minute rest, and knead 20 strokes more to make a soft, smooth dough.

Let the dough rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk. Turn it out onto your work surface, and it is ready to cut and form as your recipe directs. Form dough gently with your hands into two smooth balls. Cover loosely and let rest 10 minutes before making pizza or calzone.

(Pizza: bake for 7-10 minutes at 450 degrees.)
