Pizza Dough Balls Instructions

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  2. When the dough is room temperature, pick the dough up and toss it back and forth between the palms of your hands until it begins to stretch, forms a rough disc, and gets thinner. Work slowly, allowing the weight of the dough itself to stretch and do not force it or it will tear and can make the crust too chewy.
  3. Dust the work surface with a little more flour and set the crust back down. Press it with your fingers and pull it gently at the edges to even out the circle.
  4. Using a ladle, spread about 1/4-1/2 cup marinara on the dough. Add sliced or shredded mozzarella according to taste, and add any toppings you like!
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until crust is golden brown, cheese is bubbly, and the middle of the pie feels cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes prior to cutting and serving.
