Step 6Step five: Deburr and Bevel the Drilled Holes
Remove the cardboard template. The top holes will look pretty good, but you’ll have a fair amount of flanging coming off the drilled holes. Using the largest of the three drill bits (make sure it has a very slightly tapered head), VERY slowly drill the excess off the peel. Bevel the edges by pressing just part way beyond the surface of the peel. Do this for all the holes, flip and repeat on the back side – this will give you a nice smooth surface.
One thing not to do: wire brush on a grinder or drill. This won’t take the flanging off the drilled holes, but will leave a roughed-up, pitted area.
That’s it! Perforated pizza peel ready for action.
To use it, add flour to the peel as normal, but give it a good shake to spread the flour and eliminate any extra. Slide pizza onto peel, place in oven and give a good jerk to remove the peel - you'll notice the uncooked dough will move smoother on this peel than a standard one. And the pies will have a lot less uncooked flour underneath, leaving a much improved flavor.
