["To make the dough, mix the honey into the warm water, sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the yeast is starting to foam.", "tir in the salt and stir in flour a half cup at a time until the dough is thick enough to form into a shaggy ball. Using a floured hand, knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes, incorporating a little extra flour into the dough if it's too sticky to handle. Then brush a little olive oil on the dough and cover the bowl with a clean cloth.", "ither let the dough rise for about 2 hours in a warm place, or place in the refrigerator and allow to rise for 8-12 hours (or even longer is fine) (I much prefer this method, as the dough develops better flavor, plus it allows you to get all this done the night before and basically forget about it until the next evening when you think to yourself, \"hey! I have dough to make calzones with tonight!\"".) If you have let the dough rise in the refrigerator
