Beautiful round and shiny piece of dough 🔥🥖 It will turn into a delicious and crispy pizza 🍕

Oiling the surface of dough after finishing kneading prevents the outer skin from drying out and forming a hard crust while it rises. Reasons for Oiling Dough: A thin layer of oil seals the surface so the dough does not lose water to the air during proofing. Without oil or a tight covering, air can dry out the outer layer, creating a leathery or crusty patch that tears when the dough expands. Lightly oiling the dough (and the bowl) makes it easy to slide out once it has finished rising, without deflating it or tearing the gluten structure. It also helps the ball stay relaxed and pliable when you turn it out to shape into loaves, rolls, or pizza crusts. #baking #pizza #bread
