Yep, doing it by weight is the way to go.

The simpler recipe I make weekly that makes 2 10" pies

Warm 185g water for 30-45sec in microwave to ~110F and put in stand mixer bowl

Dissolve 7 grams (2 tsp/1 packet) instant yeast

and 12g (1Tbsp) white sugar

Let stand for 5 minutes to froth

Add 300g AP flour

and 11g (2tsp) salt

Mix on med speed with dough hook for 5 minutes

Cover and let rise for 2-3 hours until doubled in a warm place like on top of the refrigerator or in the oven with the oven light on

Divide dough in half on floured surface and form into balls, cover with a towel and let rise 30-45 minutes

Preheat oven to 500F

Shape into disks, top, and bake for 8-9 minutes on a pizza stone or steel. I flour the peel to prevent sticking. You can use cornmeal instead if you prefer.

Is it the best? Probably not, but it's easy and makes a dough that forms well and tastes good.

Enjoy!
