If only I could give this 0 stars. Editors: how to remove a recipe from a Saved file?

This is the worst pizza dough ever. The water:flour ratio looked wrong jus from reading the recipe, but it had Fanny Singer’s name on it, so I gave it a go. Then I tossed it in the trash. Not worth baking or even trying to trouble-shoot.

This recipe needs to be fixed. Totally wrong. I think it's missing a paragraph, or something.

I started making this recipe before reading your comments and had the same problem. There is definitely a mistake in the recipe. i Googled it and found the correct recipe on Epicurious. In step number 3 you should add 3/4 cup of cold water, not 1/4 cup. Please correct the recipe.

Fanny,
I'm confused... this recipe calls for a total of only 1 cup of wet ingredients, and nearly 4 cups of dry ingredients. I tried this recipe and it didn't turn out... I don't understand how that ratio of wet/dry ingredients would result in dough. I'm probably missing something... Can you help please?!?

Same here. Dough barely came together after a fair bit of kneading. Let it rise twice, rolled it out and it was very stiff. Didn't puff at all in the oven, and had a thick cracker-like crust, dense and dry. So whatever you did Jeremy, I did too.

The recipe ingredients list shows 3 1/2 cups unbleached white flour (in addition to the first 1/4 cup) but the instructions say to add in 3 1/4 cups when the time comes to mix it. Can you please clarify? Thank you.

To me, it looks like the first 1/4 cup goes into the sponge, then the 3 1/4 comes later-- not sure if that's what you were asking, so sorry if not!

Yes, exactly. It's 31/2 in total, with the first 1/4 cup going into the sponge.
