Shaping a rectangle pizza is similar, but you don’t need to begin with the dough in a perfect ball. Use your fingers to pinch the dough into a log shape before moving to the center. Instead of stretching the dough in a circular motion, focus on pulling it in two directions – vertically and horizontally.
One key secret to fluffy pizza crust is cooking pizza dough before toppings. In the recipe at the end of this post, you’ll par-bake the pizza dough at 450 degrees in the middle rack of the oven. Then add the toppings and finish baking pizza in the oven at 500 degrees until the cheese melts.
