Need some help with making home made pizza dough.... Or just pizza dough in general... Is it suppose to be like cookie dough or dryer and thicker? This pizza dough I have so far is so thick I can't use the mixer otherwise I'm worried it will brake or burn out I have to mix it and all that by hand.. Its all together in a ball of dough but I'm not sure if its too dry.. Ie too much flour need more water.... Anybody? Helps! |

Should be like bread dough, mixer should have no problems with it if it has a dough hook attachment and it;s the right consistency.. Jamie does it here in a food processor. |

If you're using a hand mixer, don't. Knead the dough by hand. It should come together and loose it's stickiness. |

Made my first ever batch the other weekend. Just hand mixed in a bowl for about a min then kneaded on the lightly dusted bench for 5 then in a tub on the window sill for an hour, then punched, kneaded, and broken into pizza batches, rolled and pre-cooked. Family were very happy with result. |

Ya I was using a hand mixed not a mixing machine.. So ya I did it by hand for about 10minutes because I wasn't sure if I needed to do it more or less... Its tripled in size now that I've been letting it sit and its nice fluff and soft so I think its going great so far! Was worried the whole time but its work it out nicely now.. |

But my next question is. Do I flatten the dough and bake it then take it out and put toppings on it then bake again or bake it all at once(raw dough with topping)? |

Leave it in the fridge for 3 days, it tastes far better, and you get those nice big air bubbles in that char a little. Mmm I cook on raw dough. Careful when you flatten, don't use a rolling pin, you want to gently stretch it in your hands turning as you go |

Air bubble in the dough that puff up and char, as in get a little burnt when cooked. As much as I'd recommend getting used to pulling the pizza bases by hand, it's not the end of the world if you use a rolling pin. Just roll them out flat and let them sit for a bit and they'll lighten up nicely. |

Looks good. Crust is definitely better after sitting for at least a day or two as Werdna mentioned. You get teh bubbles but you also get more depth of flavor. I like to put mine in the fridge after letting it rise initially, it makes the dough easier to work with when you stretch the crust. Here's a good recipe to start with for your crust (You can add whole wheat flour, I have done about 50:50 and it works), I've found that having my bread machine do the initial knead of the dough makes it easy - http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Basic-Pizza-Dough/14125/#.VGwTMmf_0aM Beth Hensperger (where the dough recipe came from) also has a very good basic sauce recipe as well that's quick to prepare and super simple - Both recipes are in this book which is very good and is worth getting if you have a bread machine - http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Lovers-Machine-Cookbook-Bread-/dp/155832156X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416369413&sr=1-2&keywords=hensperger. The book is geared toward 1.5 to 2.0 Lb loaf machines. I don't know if there is a metric version or if she's added anything for 1 lb machines. Lots of sauce, Lots of cheese. Try one with homemade Basil pesto for the sauce, yum  Too bad I'm not closer, I'd help you test them out
