2. Here's what I've been doing lately

I really like this one a lot, and it does not require much kneading because it does not produce a chewy crust, but it's excellent.

1 cup water (warm) plus 3 tablespoons honey plus 1 teaspoon salt plus 1.5 tablespoons yeast
3.5-4 cups flour (I use bread flour, but AP is fine), depending (so, however much it takes to get the right consistency)
a few tablespoons of EVOO (3-4, I didn't really measure, but erred on the side of more)

First mix up the water/yeast/salt/honey mix, then add most of the flour and knead briefly, just to get everything mixed up well and the flour hydrated.

Then add the oil and incorporate.

Then add as much flour as needed to get back to the right consistency.

Rise 1 hour at RT; punch down, let rise again 1-2 hours; punch down, divide into portions and roll out -- yes, you must roll it out because it won't stretch very well. After rolling I pinch/overlap some dough around the perimeter to make an edge so it's not all flat.

It's a sweetish, good tasting, good texture crust.

Also, I'm having really good results with the Saltillo tile I use in the oven - better even than anything I ever got with a regular pizza stone. I also discovered that I didn't need to heat them up for an hour at 500 for it to work well - I had used the oven for an hour or so at 350 to bake something else, then cranked it up to 500 and as soon as it hit 500, put the pizza in and it was just as good as prior results when I preheated at 500 for long times.

3. A grocery store in my town sells...

frozen pizza dough, and some pizza joints will sell you gobs of dough.

I can't see any reason to make your own.

5. No doughs require mixers

although mixers make them quicker and easier. I used a wooden spoon to mix them until 11 years ago, when I finally got my beloved Kitchen Aid.

I just ignored the "set mixer on.." instructions.

Somebody else provided the link to the actual recipes.

6. Market Basket should be fairly near you. In the section near

the deli, they sell bagged fresh dough form some north end type supplier. Cut the quantity in half and freeze. Defrost and let set for a while before using. Will make a great crust.
