Rustic Pizza Dough

Basic dough with tweaked hydration for chew and tang. Yeast swapped to active dry for pantry ease.

Dough rest modified, touches on visual and tactile cues over strict timing. Perfect for home ovens, flexible on flour brands and water temps. Advice on salvaging over- or under-proofed dough, alternate rising spots, and simple fixes for overly sticky dough included.
