  1. I add a little sugar (maybe a tablespoon) to help the dough rise. Just add enoug flour so it is no longer sticky.

  2. I also don't follow the directions. Throw everything into the kitchen aid and let it mix for maybe five minutes.

  3. For better results in dough texture, dissolve yeast in mixer bowl then add all ingredients in and mix in the flour slowly. Cook at 450 degrees.
