Probably need more water in the dough.

I use 1 cup of water to 2 cups of bread flour. This weekend, I tried
making pizza dough in a bread machine and I used a heaping cup of water
to 3 cups of bread flour and 1/4 cup of melted chicken fat. (It was
handy and the olive oil bottle was not, OK?). The dough looked good but
it turned out dry.
