How do I keep my pizza from sticking to the peel when I launch it? 🍕🚀💭 Ah, yes—a common (and crucial) question with an answer that’s simple but also more nuanced than you might guess. 🤔 First of all, what is launching a pizza? It’s simply the act of sliding it off the peel (that big flat oversized spatula-looking thing) and into the oven. If your pizza sticks when you launch, you risk sending toppings and sauce EVERYWHERE. To avoid sticking, follow these three guidelines from cheftomjackson … — 1. Keep your dough cold. The warmer it gets the more likely it is to stick. 2. Put flour (or similar, Tom like semolina flour) on your peel to minimize direct contact between dough and peel. 3. Move quick. The less time you spend topping your pizza while it’s on the peel, the less time it has to bind. — Finally, just cause we’re curious if you made it this far down the caption.
