How to Open and Stretch Your Pizza Dough Ball and the Transfer



This video breaks down the steps to stretch your dough ball. Excellent description with a hands on approach to making the perfect pizza shape. Wonderful explanation with a simple technique to work the dough.

Watch as Fidel starts with a rough dough ball and gently press down on it. No real stretching here until the end of the process.

Fidel Montoya explains: In this video I share the technique that I use to open and stretch a dough ball into a disk, and I explain the hand-transfer technique for getting the topped pizza onto the peel for launching into the oven.
