Pizza dough

[mcummin]

Can anyone help me with my pizza dough.  I followed the edc recipe and it turned out separated in little balls - when on interval setting does it need to be on reverse as well?

Also the dough didn't rise at all.  I kneaded the dough together and am cooking the pizza but not sure how it will turn out.

Sounds like you might of need to add a little more water. I have had this happen to me before and just add extra water until the dough comes together in one ball.

The interval setting automatically works in both forward and reverse (alternating every few seconds). I think Dede is right and the dough may have needed extra water.

Regarding the rise, check that your yeast is still in date and active.  Does it bubble up in luke warm water?  Did you use luke warm water or cold?  It really needs luke warm water to get going. Was the dough put in a nice warm place to rise? Did you leave it at least 30 minutes? 

Hope it tasted nice.

Ok thanks for advice. I used cold water so that's was probably the reason. Still tasted pretty good- but stayed quite thin, I like it a bit thicker.

I like mine thicker too. Next time I'm sure you will master it.

Definitely give it another go and I'm sure it will work out. There are a few posts on bread and dough making on here worth a read. Good luck and have fun
