Notes
I have made this recipe with a stand mixer and by hand. both work well
during the winter when my home is dry I add 1 more tablespoon of water to the dough. if your finding your dough to be too dry add water slowly till it comes together.
dough should be smooth and not sticky.
with this recipe I make 1 small pizza for my kids and 1 large for my husband and I.
this recipe doubles easily.
