Holes on my dough!

[fr3inwelde]

Hey pizza friends! I’ve been making dough from scratch, but whenever I stretch it, holes appear in the middle! I’m using all-purpose flour and hand-kneading. Is it my technique, or do I need stronger flour? thanks for any help!

It’s a combo of both, I think. technique and flour. If you’re using all‑purpose, be gentle when stretching and let the dough rest longer. Stronger flour like bread flour will definitely make it more easier.
