Instructions from the forum thread:
Per Andrew:
If the weather is hot & humid, use very cold water. Otherwise, room temperature is OK. Throw the water in the mixer and add all ingredients but the flour. Stir well with a whisk until combined. Add the flour. Mix on low speed for 8 minutes.
You now have the dough recipe for everyplace I've ever been. Including Lombardi's.
Good pizza has been around long before hydration formulas and such. Don't get so wrapped up into what is really a very simple process. Because that's what pizza is supposed to be. Plain. Simple. Food.
