150g 00 flour
100ml room temp water
5g instant yeast
5g honey
4g salt
I was trying to make some pizza dough but having no luck.
30 minute autolyse followed by medium-low mixing speed. The mixer has been going for 25 minutes and most of the dough is staying pooled up at the bottom of the mixer. I tried taking it out earlier to begin its rise but it’s the tackiest dough I’ve ever seen – consistency of spackle, sticking to the mixing bowl, to my hands, to the countertop.
All the ingredients are good and relatively new. Any ideas? Just let it keep mixing?

Either the volume of the mix is too small for the bowl, or the dough hook isn’t low enough inside the bowl.
There are YouTube videos that can show you how to adjust the hook height. Just search “[mixer brand] adjust hook/beater/bowl height”.
For 150g of flour, I’d probably just knead it by hand.

That’s a lot of salt. 3g is already 2% but that’s way too small to mix in that machine
