Pizza tossing

Pizza tossing

It might seem like tossing pizza dough is showboating — a fancy way to shape and stretch out pizza dough to fit the pan. But dough tossing isn’t just cool to watch, it’s actually the gentlest way to form a crust. Some pizza manufacturers use a machine press or dough sheeter to form pizza crust. These techniques are efficient, but the dough dries out more, which results in a crunchier crust. When dough is tossed by hand, it doesn’t lose quite as much moisture, so the crust is softer.
