1. 1

   Bread dough or any yeast dough for that matter, can be made in a number of ways - depending on what you have on hand in the way of appliances and your preference or inclination. I use something recommended by many Parisian bakers called the "autolyse". In this method, the dough is mixed into a soft mass, then allowed to rest for 10 to 12 minutes. In this rest, the dough changes its nature - miraculously. After that, it is easier to handle the dough and you will find you do not have to add as much flour to prevent it from sticking. I have incorporated autolyse in the hand, the dough hook & mixer, and bread machine methods.

   Remember, all roads lead to Rome and don't get caught up with one method. Given a choice, I would go with hands-on any day. However, some days, better to let the bread machine make the pizza dough and concentrate on something else. The food processor, which is useful for a number of baking duties, is fourth on my list of preferred methods. It does an adequate job but the dough usually produces a dense crumb. Some people swear by it for wet, slack, French doughs but I prefer hands-on, dough hook and bread machine - in that order.
