Undermixed/ kneaded dough?
« on: November 11, 2021, 10:16:29 AM »
Hi everybody—

I’m throwing a pizza party for my girlfriends birthday and wanted to get a 3 day ferment in. Got home super late last night and ended up kneading/ mixing my dough less than I normally do.

Does the picture of the dough below look way under mixed? I’m worried that the dough will tear for the pizza party…

I could remake it tonight if necessary. What do u think??

It’s not as smooth as I’d like 😬

I would only worry about smoothness if it’s intended to be in its final ball shape before stretching. If this is a bulk dough that is going to be divided into smaller balls later, that’s your chance to get it smoother. If it’s a single dough ball that you plan to use for one pizza, then with 72 hours until use, you have plenty of time later today, tomorrow, or even the next day to give it a final shaping before use.

Assuming you mean 3-day refrigerated ferment? What’s the flour and hydration, and how do you bake?
Every oven is a law unto itself and only itself.
