I broke my fast 6 hours ago.

We're having pizza for lunch, so I've started the prep for that.
Technically, I started the prep yesterday. I'm trying a new
dough recipe:

I made a half batch since it's an experiment.

Hope it works out really well for you!

How bad can it be? ;-)

It worked out beautifully. The dough was a little difficult to
form since it was so soft and wet, but it baked up like a dream.

I'm surprised as the hydration was only 66% plus a small amount of oil.
Did you use cups instead of weighing?

Nope. I set my scale to grams and weighed.

Perhaps "wet" is a little overstatement, because I have relatively
little experience with dough. But it was very soft.

The instructions said to process for 30 seconds. Those that I follow
have the machine running while you steadily pour in the water, after
which you process for a whole minute. I've found that the longer time
makes a difference. I would also add the oil after the water.

Hmm. I was pretty well satisfied with the outcome, but perhaps
I'll try that next time (if I think of it).

Our next pizza will be 00 flour in the Kitchenaid. It'll be my
husband's turn to pick what recipe we use, and I'm sure he'll
choose that.
