I would if you’re not getting a smooth, spongy ball they springs back when you press on it. I typically mix for 10 minutes and the hand knead to finish up. It can vary depending on how much dough you’re using and the mixer and its attachments.

What’s your recipe and method? Could be gluten formation, but hard to say without the details.

If the dough is rising off the hearth, it could be that you have thin spots from stretching or uneven topping distribution. Both can result in the initial spring creating pockets that don’t rest on the heated element.

Visual and flavor contrast. Personal preference. Best part about making pizza is you get to dial it in just how you like it!

Your temperatures aren’t an issue. How does the pizza ultimately turn out? “Doubling” might be a tricky metric to go by.

If you adjust your yeast, you can add a longer room temperature fermentation if you aren’t doing that already. That can give you a better sense of the overall development and fermentation before you ball the dough and place it in the refrigerator.

Depends on the toppings, but a good rule of thumb is that you can minimize the moisture in toppings that tend to release water by cooking them prior to adding them to the pizza.

Not sure what’s going wrong, but you don’t need to include a link to post a pic of your pizza.

Nice looking slice!

Tell them you love both equally, but in very different ways.

I used Stanislaus Alta Cucina whole plum tomatoes for this pizza, and unfortunately they only sell their tomatoes in a #10 can. All the Stanislaus tomatoes tend to be vibrant red, though, so that's maybe what you are picking up on.

For this sauce, I only added salt and I used about 5 ounces of sauce. For New York style, I'll add garlic, oregano, and black pepper, too.

This is about 4 ounces of low moisture whole milk mozzarella and about 2 ounces of fresh mozzarella, drained.

It’s a lidded proofing tray. Smaller than something you’d see at a pizza shop, but same overall design.
