What it concludes

• Letting pizza dough relax for 45 to 60 minutes or longer makes it easier to shape.
• Pressing the dough from the inside out using hands as paddles helps get it into shape without stretching too early.
• Using 00 pizza flour provides a combination of strength and tenderness for the crust.
• Gentle stretching on the bench avoids the need to throw the dough.
• Flouring and flipping the dough during shaping prevents wet spots from sticking to the bench or peel.
