Pizza Dough Stretching

Lizabeth L. (Q&A ID 1020)

Hi -

I waited for the dough to reach 75 degrees, but I am having trouble with stretching. I can stretch to about 8-9" and then I usually let the dough rest for about 10 minutes to relax and then stretch some more. I may have to do this twice to get to 12." Also, would be helpful to know whether you stretch just by pushing down on the dough from the center (flipping over once) or whether you also recommend the hanging method where you hold the handle and let gravity do the work.

Would really appreciate a whole video or step by step just on this topic.

Thanks!

Hi Tiza - You can watch Erika stretch the pizza dough for this recipe in this episode of the TV show. She does a great job of illustrating how it should be done. Good luck! https://www.177milkstreet.com/tv/pizza-and-pasta

I worked with a. Very good Swiss chef who would periodically put his cast iron pans into the fireplace. Presto! Clean and new.
