From Serious Eats Talk: Come to My (Kitchen) Aid

Methinks that happy belly has come a knockin' at the right door.... From SE Talk: I'm trying to use my KitchenAid stand mixer for pizza dough. It's a pretty standard 5:3 AP flour:water ratio, salt plus instant yeast. I'm just not sure how long to mix it and at what speed. Sometimes I'm sure it's undermixed: dough is not smooth. Sometimes I think it's overmixed, worked so much it has zero springback. Can anyone make some suggestions for me that knows what they are doing? Your 2¢ is always appreciated. Go here »...

From Serious Eats Talk: 'How to Keep Dough from Sticking to the Pan?'

In Serious Eats Talk, Skythe asks: I've tried making pizza from scratch several times, and no matter what I do, I end up prying it off of the pan (or once, scrapping it off of my old roommate's pizza stone).
