  1. If measuring in grams, then don’t. The dough is a sticky blob, which can’t be kneeded.
    Waste of ingredients

  3. I have made this several times. I up the flour a bit or it is too sticky. This is a wonderful recipe.
    The kneading the dough until smooth” step is skipped in the written instructions (it only says to mix until smooth). Follow the video instead.”

  4. Love this recipe. I freeze them in twos and then make pizza. My dough was sticking to the cutting board so I threw out a little flour and they rolled out perfectly.
