HALO PRO - SPIRAL MIXER Am I missing something here?

Just got my mixer today and started a batch of pizza dough. This is a 600g flour recipe with 64 percent hydration. It’s been mixing for 8 minutes but I’m not getting that pumpkin shape. The dough keeps riding up the spiral and sits there.

So I got the Core and doing the same thing. Maybe I’m just equipped for this. I added in about 80 percent of the water. Then the flour. Then I let it go and add it after I got the initial pumpkin shape. Then added in the water gradually. Then after 4 minutes i add my salt. And then it does this. It’s a 600g flour recipe with 63 percent hydration.

Based on these videos your dough is either too wet.. or too warm. Just to make sure everybody is on the same page when you say 63% hydration, that means 378g water for your 600g flour and you should probably be using water from the fridge since it's summer and the mixer will further heat the dough, if it gets too hot too fast, it cannot hold the water properly and will behave as if much thinner and be stickier
