Final operations PIZZA COUNTER PREPARATION PROCEDURE Fig. 17 After the dough disks have been flattened and placed on the pizzeria counter, it could happen that after topping them, it is somewhat difficult to pick them up with the shovel. This happens because, after flattening, the dough disks normally release humidity which makes them stick to the pizzeria counter.
