I've been learning as well because I want to be able to make Detroit pizza at home!

Thanks, it's been intimidating trying to learn about yeast and dough rising, proofing, etc. I'm glad I'm figuring it out.

Did it take you a while? If you have any tips or tricks I’d love to hear!

I've done 3 attempts so far. What I've learned is that a lot of recipes either assume I know more about bread dough than I already do, or that I have equipment that I do not own (like a standing mixer).
I found some good recipes that were very clear and compiled my own detailed notes.

For example:
First step now is yeast + warm water (~100 F) + a tablespoon of honey to give them sugar. Put that aside while mixing the dry ingredients to ensure it starts foaming.

When leaving the dough to rise I put it in the oven with the light on.
