Disappointing. Not a good dough. It's too stiff. Think there should be more water or oil to make it mixable. Maybe 2 tablespoons to a quarter cup more. End product was dense.

This dough should have worked out. Liquid to dry ingredients are in line with other dough recipes. Will have to make this again and figure out what I did wrong.

Did you handle it at room temp after well rested? Stupid as this may be to ask those two steps really make the dough far more maleable and it takes shape better without snapping back so much.

There was plenty of flour that didn't want to incorporate into the liquid. Had to hand knead it a lot forcing the flour into the liquid. It was all done at room temperature. The dough did rise and get soft a little in the 15 minute resting window but would not spread out much before getting all rubber band on me so I let it rest another 15 minutes before stretching it more and putting the toppings on.
I'm going to use the food processor on it next time and monitor the amount of liquid needed to make a clean ball.
Thought I fluffed up the flour enough. Maybe I didn't. Used the shake and roll technique which seems to work wonderfully on all my other bread dough recipes.

Thats pretty much the dough recipe I use, but I use 2 and 3/4 cups of flour.
I find it easier to roll out with a rolling pin after the rise.
