He said “pull on it” heh heh heh
Italians dying seeing this.
I knew Ramsey was bald
Thanks for advice friend
Оо Боже , хватит его мять ! С ним надо работать быстрее . Минимум движений, все пузыри раздавил 🤨
Clearly he don’t know how to do it but keep trying one day you will learn it slowly or fast it depends on you Santa clause
What bs! Americans should never touch Italian food. They lack the necessary soul. Sorry, pal, most Italians would laugh at your high-brow approach.
Amator
As an experienced pizza maker. The less you handle the Dough the better the crust
I love your channel. I like your videos. He's a great chef. But he's not a pizzaiolo.
Hqahahahahgqa
If the dough is not stretching easily, this maybe the result of low hydration or the fermentation time is not long enough.
Thumbs down because he said " you don't have to throw it in the air " boooo
Why don’t we use a pizza roller anymore…💀💀💀💀💀
This guy sucks at stretching dough don't use these methods if trying to learn for a pizza shop you will be looked at like you're crazy and will be fired
When he squeezed the crust my heart broke
Its important to always cover your hole
Here's some more mozzarella
Why even post this? Makes me wonder how many of his tips are wrong
I'm manager at papa john's pizza that's not how we stretch our Dough.
What he is not telling you is you need to stretch the ends of the dough do jot stretch the middle .
Making pizza’s not as easy as people think it’s gonna be.
I am a pro pizza chef, this is how to stretch out pizza dough like an amateur.
how u are not supposed to do 😛 pro where? LOL
"humanly possible" i like that
You are not pizzaiolo
My dough always tears
I was taught to focus more on the edges when you stretch so you can avoid making the center too thin ( and ripping ) and not have so much excess dough on the edges 👍
Thanks dude. Great video!! You're such a pro….. I'm gonna make a pizza tonight for dinner….. I make my own bread and since it's similar I think I'll try to make a pizza!!!
Exellent video!!
Depends what style of pizza you are making. Roman tonda, bari, chicago tavern mostly use a rolling pin
Looks so easy but I'm no dough pro tosser makes me wanna quit my job lmao
Years ago i used your website for cake
Watch a Vito Iacopelli video to see how to stretch a dough properly.
Eyyy! Makin' it look easy ova here!
Thanks. Will definitely try this
