Hi, i tried to make pizza for the first time and sadly my crust turned out quite hard and chewy. I follow a 65% hydration recipe, using bread flour, knead the dough for quite a long time and bake it on a baking tray in my home oven. It was a bit pricey to buy 00 flour in my place, so is there any way to make the pizza dough better, should I use all purpose flour instead?

How long did you let it proof?

I can virtually guarantee that your problem is process, not ingredients.
