So I'm a pizza newbie (making, certainly not eating 😁ðŸ•and like every new hobby I am obsessed with learning how to make them, as such, I've fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole and have pretty much settled on Vito Iacopelli's channel. This guy's knowledge, willingness to share, and obvious enthusiasm and love for great pizza makes watching his videos both very easy to watch and imparts a ton of knowledge. Love this guy!

yeah, he's fun. I assume you've seen Kenji's series on the basic doughs for each pie type but in case not... https://www.seriouseats.com/the-pizz...doughs-to-know
Serious Eats used to run a series called The Pizza Lab and has a bunch of interesting posts on the topic: https://www.seriouseats.com/search?q=pizza+dough

pkadare Yeah, that guy is fun to watch. Have you been practicing stretching out the dough yet? Everyone is different, but it took me many frustrating nights to get it down. Now I find it fun and relaxing. My unsolicited advice, start with a lower hydration (59-62%) until you get comfortable. To me, the crust tastes better as the hydration increases, but it's just harder to manage. Have fun!

We made pizza tonight and it was one of our better pies, I bought some 00 pizza flour from the Great Cdn Super store and I followed the recipe on the package. The dough took a while to rise probably 3 hours as I think our house was cool. The dough was easy to work with and it made a nice thin crust 14†pizza.
