The trick is to get a pizza dough that can be tossed over with ease. Without the proper gluten, the dough won't stretch enough and tear. Once you've got the proper dough, you can practice your tossing technique using the steps below.

Ingredients

• 1 glass of water
• ½ tbsp. l.salt
• 1 tbsp. l. Sahara
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. l. dry yeast
• A little over 2 glasses of flour.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Making the dough

1. 1 Mix the above ingredients. Pour warm water into a bowl and add yeast, then salt, sugar and butter. Add flour gradually while stirring the mixture. You have added enough flour if the dough is so thick that it is difficult to mix.
2. 2 Knead the dough. The dough is done if it is glossy and firm, but not sticky; and a small amount of dough can be pinched and stretched quite thinly, to a translucent layer.
3. 3 Let the dough rise for an hour at room temperature or 5 hours in the refrigerator.
4. 4 Place the dough on a floured surface and sprinkle with flour.
5. 5 Cut the dough into two round balls and repeat the following steps separately for each one.
6. 6 Roll one ball by hand to a thickness of 2-4 cm.
7. 7 Take a pancake of dough and pinch the edges about 1.3 cm. from the edge. Check and stretch as you pinch, repeat around the entire circumference.
8. 8 When you have stretched the dough pancake enough, start tossing it.

Method 2 of 2: Tossing the dough

1. 1 Make a fist and place the dough on top of it.
2. 2 Make a fist with your other hand and place it next to your first hand.
3. 3 Gently spread your fists apart, stretching the dough even further.
4. 4 Swap your fists in places (left fist towards you and right fist away from you) so that the dough rotates as you stretch.
5. 5 When the dough is about 20 cm. in diameter, you can quickly make an arc movement with your left fist towards you. At the same time, move your right fist away from you. If you push up a little with your right fist, the dough will spin like a frisbee (flying disc). Practice to evenly balance the twisting force with your fists. This will help keep the pizza in the corner (or worse).
6. 6 Be sure to catch the falling spinning pizza as carefully as you can with two fists so it doesn't rip.

Tips

• You can give extra time to rise if you have reduced the amount of yeast.
• Use as much flour as you need while making the dough.

Warnings

• Tossing the dough too high can be disastrous. The dough will either land hard and break, or stick to the ceiling.
• It is important to knead the dough for a long time, but not excessively. If you use a powerful electric mixer, you can overdo it with kneading and the result is a fibrous dough that falls apart.
