Make Pizza Dough
(Continued)
 Spin it!
Your objective? Thin, even dough--about 1/4"
thick--to spread out on a lightly-oiled (and
sprinkled with corn meal, if you please) pizza pan.
You need not toss the dough so it sticks to the
ceiling or covers the head the nearest bystander.
Don't expect to spin your dough completely out on
the first try: have a rolling pin (a large glass
jar can substitute) standing by. Resort to rolling
if necessary.
- Pick up the dough, and holding it over your
fists, allow it to stretch slowly downward a
couple of inches.
- Now, hold up the dough with your fingertips,
about a foot in front of your face, with your
arms bent at a 90 degree angle.
- Toss the dough into the air about two feet
high by snapping your wrists and rotating your
hands clockwise in a quick movement. If you've
ever spun a basketball on your finger, the
concept is very similar.
The dough will stretch from spinning. If you
poke a hole, don't worry, just pull it back and pad
the dough together with your hand.
