  • Pat your palms first in the middle, then moving slightly towards the edge. You'll get a flat, somewhat thick disc of pizza dough at this point.
  • Press it down so it can absorb some more flour. Continue tapping, making it larger and thinner every time. Make sure to preserve the round shape by turning it continuously.

  • Lift it, holding with both hands. Start rotating the dough in your hands, letting it stretch by its own weight.
  • Once it gets the desired size, put your dough in your pizza pan. You can adjust the size and the shape in the pan.
