I tried making them using all-purpose flour and gave up in frustration. The Hungarian HA flour is much higher in gluten. I can get it "read through" thin and it won't tear. The problem I have is that it shrinks back as I top it. The one in the photo was 12" before I put the toppings on (the pizza wheel is 4"). I also use course ground semolina flour on a wood peel so it doesn't stick while being topped. I use a 12" or 14" metal peel for turning and removing. It's getting fun now!
