Is it okay if my pizza dough feels sticky?

[AL_]

Sometimes my pizza dough comes out stickier than I expect. Is this normal, or am I missing something in the process? How do you handle sticky dough, and what consistency should I aim for? Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!

t's pretty common for pizza dough to turn out stickier than expected! This can happen for a few reasons, like the humidity in the air or using too much water in your recipe. When dealing with sticky dough, you can try adding a bit more flour, but be careful not to add too much, or it could change the texture. The ideal consistency should be soft and slightly tacky but not so sticky that it sticks to your hands. When you knead the dough, it should become smooth and elastic. If you find it hard to handle, let it rest for a bit, as this can help with the stickiness.

It's generally okay if your pizza dough feels sticky. However, if the dough is so sticky that it's unmanageable, you would need to add flour while kneading it until you achieve the right consistency.
