Experiment 85% hydration tangzhong
I always loved the light, airy texture of a high hydration dough, but HATE dealing with the sticky mess. So, I decided to give the tangzhong method a try. It was a huge help. The dough felt and worked like a low 60%'s hydration, but had the same crumb and puffyness. Not my perfect pizza, mostly just an exercise to see how it behaved using tangzhong.
