Help - tough dough

[brokencookie]

Ok, I couldn't wait for the scheduled pizza night on Friday. I made dough today following all of the excellent advice. Specifically

1. Used 50/50 KA bread and all pupose flour
2. cool water
3. Longer in the bread machine
4. "Benched" the dough and let it rest
5. Tried not to handle to much
6. Upped the hydration to 65%. That was really scary because the dough is so soupy I was sure it had to be a mistake.

So today I made ( with the same dough) 1 pizza, 1 desert pizza, 2 calzones and 2 dough balls for Friday pizza.

You guys are awesome!!! I followed your directions everything came out great. The dough handled well, weird but well. It had a nice crunch to the crust, good spring, nice hole structure and a great taste.

Thanks
