Learn2 Make Pizza Dough (continued)
Step 7: 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.
