New restaurant Rock & Brews in Overland Park, Kan., officially opens April 29, but first they stopped by FOX 4 to share some pizza tossing tips. See below.
Pizza Tossing Tips
• Make a fist and drape the dough over your fist.
• Make a fist of the other hand and slip it under the dough next to your other fist.
• Carefully move your fists apart stretching the dough more.
• Shift your fists (left towards your face, right away) so the dough rotates while stretching.
• When the dough has reached about 8 inches in diameter, you can quickly move your left fist in an arc that goes backwards towards your face. Do this while twisting your right fist forward away from your face. If you give a little push upwards with your right fist the dough will spin like a Frisbee. Practice to balance the force of the fist twists equally. This will keep the pizza from spinning off into the corner (or worse).
• Be sure to catch the falling spinning pizza as gently as you can with your two fists to avoid tearing.
• Repeat until you reach desired pizza dough size.
