FAQ
What makes dough chewy? The chew in dough comes from the flour used to prepare it. Bread flour contains higher protein content than all-purpose flour which gives pizza crust its chew.
The chewy pizza dough secret is to use flour with higher protein such as bread flour and to knead it longer to develop the gluten. If your pizza crust is too chewy you can use all-purpose flour and knead for less time. If you like air and bubbles in your crust then stretch it gently with your hands.
As you knead the dough, however, these proteins begin to line up and form chains of amino acids which creates a matrix within the dough. It's this matrix that allows the dough to rise which makes the dough soft and chewy instead of hard like cardboard.
More gluten (stronger flour), higher hydration and better development of the gluten (autolyse, s&f,...) might help. If you add pure gluten to the flour it can very easily get too chewy. Durum flour also gives a good chew. For pan loaves, especially with rye breads, coarsely cut groats are the way to go.
Gluten is what makes dough elastic and stretchy.
