- Transfer the dough to the baking pan or round pizza pan.

Notes
- Pizza dough should be at room temperature before you begin rolling it. If the dough has been kept in the refrigerator leave the dough on the counter for about twenty minutes before attempting to roll the dough. If the dough is too cold it won't stretch easily.
- If a hole develops in the pizza dough while you are rolling it you can pinch it back together. If the hole continues to stretch roll the dough back into a ball and reroll agin.
- Please note tota time does not include the time needed to make the homemade pizza dough recipe.
