Instructions: Do not roll your dough out. Dont worry if your pizza isnt perfectly round; theres much to be said for rusticity. If your pizza doesnt have much of a rim, use your fingertips to crimp the dough and build a small one around the circumference; this is called the cornicione. If your pizza dough has a tear in it, transplant a small piece of dough, smoothing it in.

Run a wide spatula under the pizza to make sure youll be able to move it easily off the surface later; add extra flour underneath if its sticking.

Repeat this process until all 4 pizzas are shaped.

Place towels loosely over the pizzas as soon as theyre shaped. Let each pizza rest for at least 10 minutes and up to 60 minutes before cooking. The pizzas should puff very slightly.
