My number one tip from years as a doughmaker at a pizza place: - Make sure that the amount of water you have is accurate to the recipe, then add as much flour as you need to get the right consistency (dough ball should feel almost like a baby's bottom, imo). because the weather in different places is different, and humidity varies by the day, the amount of water you need for a recipe to be accurate varies wildly. However, instead of trying to fix the water, if you keep your water amount the same it is easier to compensate by adding more flour. it is much easier to integrate more flour than it is to integrate more water.
