Part 3/6:
- Check the Rise: After the resting period, check if the dough has doubled in size. It should be soft and smooth, ready for the next step.
Forming the Pizza Base
Next, transfer the risen dough onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to spread the dough evenly. Roll it out larger than your pizza pan to create a crust:
Flour the surface liberally to prevent sticking.
Roll the dough to your desired thickness, traditionally leaving the edges slightly thicker for the crust.
Filling Your Pizza
- Choosing a Filling: The filling possibilities are endless! For this example, use Catupiry cheese (or any soft cheese of your choice) for a delicious stuffed crust effect.
