Giant bubbles that come to the surface of the ball. Then when I flatten the balls to make the pizza, I get enormous bubbles pushed out to the crust that burn in the oven.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

  2. Bubbles are okay. When you form your pizza pop the big bubbles on the crust by hand and you should be good.

    You can pop them by hand or with a thin skewer or something while you’re shaping the pizza. Bubbles are a good sign that fermentation is going well, you just need to pop them manually and, depending on how you want the crusts to come out, carefully.
