Autumns Inn's Scott Christie, Hand-Tosses Crust for His Popular Pizzas

When you order a hand-tossed pizza from Autumn's Inn Pizza and Ice Cream, it REALLY does get tossed!

You may think that tossing pizza dough is just a fancy way to shape and stretch the dough to fit the pan. There is actually much more to the act. Tossing the dough is one of the best ways a cook can form a good crust. Some pizza restaurants will use a machine press to form the crust. Although using a machine press is efficient, it causes the dough to dry out more.

Hand tossing the pizza dough keeps some of the moisture so the crust is softer. By spinning the pizza dough, the air helps to create a round shape. The airflow over the dough also dries it out enough to make it easier to handle and less sticky. Hand tossing allows for a unique crust every time.
