Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the water is warm, not hot, as this can kill the yeast in the flour.
- Do not overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
- Roll out the dough as thinly as possible for a crispier crust.
- Bake the pizzas on a preheated baking stone or pizza pan to get a nice crispy crust.
