The diagram illustrates the steps in making dough for pizza. Overall, it is a fairly simple process that can be divided into seven stages.
To begin with, we first need to add together 4 main ingredients to make the dough mixture. To mix the ingredients we use a stand mixer machine. First, add 4 cups (500 grams) of flour, 1 and a half cups (325 grams) of water, 2 teaspoons of salt, and a half teaspoon of dry active yeast to the mixer's bowl. Following this, run this mixture for 2 minutes at a slow rate under the mixer. Then, mix for 5 minutes and another 2 minutes at medium and slow rates respectively. Afterward, take the dough out of the bowl and leave it to expand for at least 2 hours such that it doubles its original size. Once this is done, knead the dough using both hands to remove all the air bubbles in it. Finally, cut it into 3 equal pieces with each weighing approximately 275 grams.

Most people perform some form of sport which in one way or another benefits them. However, there is an ongoing debate on whether team sport is more advantageous than individual sports. This essay will analyze both views before presenting an opinion.
Firstly, people who favour team sports claim that it teaches leadership skills and can instill sense of collaboration between the players. A research by Western University Sydney on people who play team sports proves this. It shows that the team leaders have a better sense of utilizing their assets, thus inciting leadership skills in them and the rest displayed a strong feeling of unity when working together. Therefore, it may be said that team sports is, indeed, valuable to the player.
However, it is worth mentioning that people who indulge in individual sports have great confidence in themselves. This is because individual sports are more self-oriented. That is to say, it allows people to push their limits, as they solely have control over everything in the game. As a result, they know their capabilities and confidently face their rivals. This shows that individual sports can play an important role in a person's personality.
In conclusion, both kinds of sports mentioned above are very useful. However, it seems that deciding which sport, whether team or individual, is more beneficial is not wise, as different sports may be useful for different people. Therefore, it is recommended that people play the sports that they are satisfied with to lead a healthy life.
