How to Stretch Your Pizza Dough & How To Use a Pizza Peel

Practice to make your pizza turn into a masterpiece. If you proofed your pizza dough in the fridge, remember to allow your pizza dough to warm up to room temperature. This is very important if you want to be able to form your dough ball correctly. In the video, you will notice a six finger technique to initially form the dough ball into the correct shape. I like what Mark Bello suggests at ( Pizza A Casa Pizza School ). Mark calls the technique, soft bongos, that is lightly tapping your dough ball as you would a bongo drum.

If you are ready you take your pizza to the next le...
