Why dough was tough to strech

[MightyPizzaOven]

Few days ago I made an emergency dough to test my new new grill.

Ingredients:

King Arthur Bread Flour    3 1/2 cup
Water              1 1/2 cup
Beer (del sol)              1cup
Salt             1 Tbs
Olive Oil         1 Tbs
Garlic Powder             1/2 Tsp 
ADY             1 Tsp

In making the dough, Mixed the salt and oil with the flour into a bowl. I took 1/4 cup of the total formula water, at around 100 degrees F, and rehydrated the ADY in it for about 10 minutes. I then heated the remaining water to around 120 degrees F .



The dough balls were a bit tough to strech prior to baking.  Not as elastic and easy to tear.

 I mixed rehydrated ADY with flour first than poured beer into the bowl. After mixing and kneading by hand.

Bulk rise for an hour, balled into three balls, let it rest fro 15 minutes.

The pies were a bit thick... But the tasted great..

What was the reason for the dough to be tough to stretch, is it due to not enough fermenting time?

Correction:

Used 1 cup Water

You did not allow enough time after balling to open your skins. Fifteen minutes rest is not enough unless you use a rolling pin, more time is needed for the gluten strands to relax after balling. Just wondering, do you use hot water and beer to acccelerate the proofing?

Don,

This is the first time I used beer...I saw others using beer in their recipe... I assumed it will enhance the taste...I belive the extra heat is to acccelerate the proofing... following Peter steps on an emergency dough recipe..http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,19893.msg199934.html#msg199934

Next I will try to allow more time for resting after balling, at least an hour.

Bert, That will go a long ways to better workabilty of the skin.
