My dough recipe (adopted/modified from Jeff Varasano's recipe to work with a hand mixer):

Makes enough dough for 2 pies and a thing of breadsticks
330g water
520g AP flour
18g salt
50g starter at 100% hydration

Mix ~75% of flour, all starter and water in bowl. Using the mixer let mix for ~6 minutes until fully blended and smooth. Cover and rest for 1 hour. Add salt and mix for another 6 minutes then work the remaining flour in by hand, kneading a total of 8-10 minutes. Turn dough out, separate and let rest another 40-60 minutes. Store in fridge for 1-6 days in lightly oiled & floured containers until fully risen. Before cooking set out to warm up before baking.

This dough is rather wet so kind of a pain to work with. I've found cornmeal to work best and working directly on the peel, shaking to make sure that it isn't stuck. I'm not a fan of parchment paper because it doesn't allow the stone to absorb moisture from the crust. I typically stretch the crust out, cook for ~20 minutes and then put my toppings on as I like a consistently crunchy pizza throughout. Also for stretching the dough you should work with it until it starts to shrink after stretching. Once it shrinks let the dough rest for 5 minutes and continue.

So does everyone overseas have a scale? How do you measure like that without one?

Not too expensive and accurate +/-1G http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Kitchen-Silver/dp/B001N07KUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325562529&sr=8-1

Just throw a thing of tupperware on it and measure away!
