THE SECRET TO MAKING ROUND PIZZA

You already know my secret weapon for homemade pizzas is my Baking Steel. Well, I have another little secret to share. There is a trick to making round pizza and I am going to share it with you.   Here is the secret, if you want a round pizza start with a round dough. It's that simple.

Baking Steel Dough Container

Always making a mess in your kitchen mixing dough? Now you can mix, proof, shape, ball and proof your dough all in the same container. Air tight lid to keep your dough from oxidizing. Fits sleekly into majority of home refrigerators for cold proofing.
