2buds,
I believe the recipe you used is the one at
http://www.pizzamaking.com/pizzainnstyle.php. If so, there is nothing wrong with the recipe. The ingredient quantities, including the amount of water, are correct. However, as written, the recipe requires using a stand mixer or a food processor. I established that it is possible to make a hand kneaded version of DKM's recipe, but the procedures have to be modified. For background purposes, you might want to read this thread:

http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,5762.msg49752.html#msg49752. It isn't necessary that a proofing box be used but you will perhaps find it necessary to use some form of heat source to allow you to roll out the dough with relative ease.
I think that the DKM cracker style dough is one of the easiest to make. However, to get the best results on a consistent basis you have to have the right equipment and follow the instructions carefully. Also, because of the low hydration of the dough, you really should use a digital scale to weigh out the flour and water.
Good luck.
