How to Shape Pizza Dough
How to shape pizza dough for authentic homemade Italian pizza
Ingredients
- 280 g pizza dough at room temperature
Instructions
- Start by making a large mound of flour on your work surface, then place your pizza dough ball in the middle.
- Press with your palms, first in the middle, then gradually moving slightly toward the edge. At this point, you'll get a flat, somewhat thick disc of pizza dough.
- Press it down so it picks up a little more flour. Continue pressing, making it larger and thinner each time. Make sure to preserve the round shape by turning it continuously.
- Lift it, holding it with both hands. Start rotating the dough in your hands, letting it stretch under its own weight.
- Once it reaches the desired size, put the dough in your pizza pan. You can adjust the size and shape there if needed.
