I read your piece entitled 'A Pizza Primer.' I notice you refer to stirring the dough, resting and stirring again. Is that another way of referring to kneading the dough or do you really mean to stir it as with a large spoon. It seems I would want to use the dough hook on a standing mixer but now I'm confused.

PS - I'm new to this post and not sure I'm going to find my way back in to see your answer.

Thank you
