Well, I’m going to have to find a use for it, since I put so much effort into getting it ;) I’ll have to try the spinning method, though–see if I can do it without creating disaster! As for baking, I do all my baking, pizzas included, on a baking stone. I love that thing.

Also, the way I was taught to make pizza bases was to be gentle with them, don’t punch the dough back and definitely don’t use a rolling pin! If you balance the dough on your fist, it will slowly stretch out, start spinning it slightly to get it even and round. :)

Of course, if the dough isn’t just right, or I’m being lazy, it’s BANG on the benchtop and ROLL with the pin! Heh.

Apparently putting the pizza tray directly on the base of the oven (not on the racks) gives it a better finish more like a pizza-oven, because it cooks it much faster. I haven’t tried this yet, though.
