Rounding instructions - forming the balls of dough

Preparation:

Rounding the dough is an important step in creating a good pizza crust. This is how you do it:

1. Knead the 3 - 7 oz dough ball into a round disc.
2. Fold the edges of the dough in toward the center.
3. Turn the ball 90 degrees and then fold in the edges again.
4. Repeat these steps until the ball is good and stretched, and then pinch the folds together on the underside of the dough ball.
5. Place the dough on a flat surface, folds side down.
6. Place your hand on top of the ball and press down, then spin the dough in a circle.
7. Pressing and spinning the dough will make the underside smoother.
