Pizza Dough

I got this recipe from Brent's mom. I tweaked it just a little and have noted down some helpful hints I have learned after making it so many times. I LOVE this recipe. We made it into calzones last night:
Ingredients:

1 cup warm water
1 tbsp yeast
3 cups flour
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup softened butter

Directions for Dough:
1. Mix yeast and water very well. Let mixture sit while mixing the other ingredients.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in large bowl.
3. Add softened butter and mix well with fork.
4. Add water/yeast. Mix with fork and then knead with hands, adding water or flour to get desired consistency. Should be very soft and slightly sticky.
5. Transfer to greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in bulk.
6. Punch down and let rise again.

Directions for Pizza:
1. Preheat oven with pizza stone inside to 450.
2. Divide dough into two equal parts.
3. Roll dough out to size of pizza stone.
4. Cook for 5 minutes only. Check for bubbles, and poke them with sharp knife if you see one.
5. Remove dough, add toppings, and bake another 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
6. Repeat with remaining dough.

Directions for Calzones:
1. Preheat oven to 450 with pizza stone inside.
2. Prepare desired meat ingredients. (We used sauteed 1 onion, 1 bell pepper, 3/4 pound sausage, 1/4 pound ham, and 1 chopped tomato. Add black pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning to meat.)
3. Add 1 1/4 cups mozzarela cheese and 1/2 cup marinara sauce to meat mixture.
4. Divide dough into 5 equal parts. Roll out to into 8 inch circles. Make sure there is plenty of flour underneath the dough after it has been rolled or it will stick to the counter when you try to move it to the stone later.
5. Place 1/5 of meat mixture on each dough circle, only on one side. Fold dough over filling. Wet the edges of the dough with finger and water. Use fork to press edges together to seal.
6. Cut 3 slits in top of each calzone. Place on pizza stone and cook 2 or 3 at a time for 13-15 minutes.
7. Serve with marinara sauce.

Can also use this recipe for scones, navajo tacos, or pretzels if you take out garlic, italian seasoning and 1/2 the salt. Yummy!!!!
