Re: Three dough balls from the same batch all look different in smoothness

What kind of mixer did you use?

The only explanation I can think of is that the dough was so badly undermixed that the ingredients weren’t evenly distributed.

Thanks for responding!

This is a kitchen aid stand mixer ( artisan series). And it could be under mixing because as I mentioned the dough was not smooth after 10 minutes of mixing. A lot of the dough was caught on the dough hook and just being pushed around by that ball of dough. I tried pushing the dough off with a spatula and it kept accumulating back on there.

Do you think the dough balls will still be usable?  Tonight’s day 3 and was going to be pizza night but as of last night I didn’t see much rise in the dough.
