And 2-1/4 cups is not nearly enough flour to 1 cup of water for pizza dough... need more like 3-1/4 cups flour, high glutton winter wheat flour... all purpose flour is probably what's meant by "plain", but that won't produce pizza dough. And I like to add a few healthy grinds of fresh black pepper to my pizza dough. |

The "correct" recipe for pizza dough, however, is somewhat like the "correct" recipe for naan. On one Indian cooking site alone there were 20 recipes for naan. It's in the mind of the person throwing the dough, or stretching it, or "horrors" rolling it out. Kent |
