  • Cut strips with a knife about 1” thick.
  • Take your index and middle finger and place them in the middle of your dough strip. Wrap the top part around your fingers and create a hole with your two fingers to pull through and create a knot. Tuck the two sides underneath your knot and place on your baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the rest.

Important Dough Guidelines

  1. Keep in the fridge for up to 50 days.
    ** Speed up proofing by placing the vacuum-sealed dough in a bowl of hot water. Let it sit for 20 minutes or until the center reaches room temperature. **

  2. Round the dough with flour to prevent sticking, brush with olive oil, put in a bowl, and cover.

  3. Let the dough rise for at least 3.5 hours before using.

  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F or higher, if possible.

    Rounding pizza dough is a crucial step in the pizza-making process.
