Can anyone show how to make a Pizza Dough Press?

Does anyone know how to make a pizza dough press for home use?

Mash the dough between two pans. If you need to you can sit on them for extra squishitude.

I have tried that does not work very good

Squishitude.  Downwardabilityness.  You Brits and your neologisms!  Why can't you maintain some respect for the English language, as we Americans do?

[RavingMadStudios]

Who are you calling a Brit? Them's fightin' words, hombre. You have impugned my Americanosity! I challenge you to a duel: slegdehammers in five and a half feet of water! Wait... how tall are you, again?

For the record, I thought "downwardabilityness" was brilliant. And I'm not just sucking up to Kiteman, either.

Bwa, hah hah!  I can never tell the difference between y'all Southerners and Brits.  You both talk real funny :-D 

Oh, indeed, "downwardabilityness" was utterly brilliant.

I don't think I've ever seen a pizza dough press.  Why not roll it out with a rolling pin as you do with a regular pie crust?

... or learn to throw it, which has the advantage of stretching/organizing the gluten radially a bit better than rolling would.

(I never really tried to master that technique, and have mostly settled for roughly stretching the dough into shape. That usually produces a much thicker crust -- topped bread rather than pie-crust style -- but that's also a legitimate form of pizza and just as tasty if you've got good dough.)

Agreed. The stretched crust is my favorite, although I do cheat and use my bread machine to knead the dough. The rustic, irregular shape seems to be very popular these days, anyway.

Maybe so, but probably less work than building a dough press, unless you have a whole lot of pizza parties.

I have a pizza party every weekend
