❓ Quick Cooking Q&A
Yes, but bread flour will give a chewier texture due to higher protein content
Check yeast freshness and water temperature - should be around 110F for optimal rising
Yes, but you'll need to knead by hand for 10-12 minutes and let rise for 1 hour
Roll to about 1/4 inch thickness for traditional pizza, thinner for crispy crust
Yes, wrap portions tightly and freeze for up to 3 months
Humidity can affect flour absorption - add more flour one tablespoon at a time
Usually 12-15 minutes at 450F, but follow your pizza recipe instructions
Only if your bread maker capacity allows - check manual for maximum flour amounts
Check error codes in manual - common issues include temperature sensors or power interruption
Test by mixing with warm water and sugar - should foam within 10 minutes
