Yes he was good at tossing stuff but Cris decided that for now, since they were supposed to eat what they had baked that it would more practical to use the first two methods she suggested.
Ahhhh...and here's another question? Why drizzle olive oil and garlic salt on to the dough? Cris figured he'd hazard another guess. Raising his hand, he shared his thoughts.
"Professor, could drizzling the olive oil and adding garlic salt over the dough help make it easier to stretch the dough and maybe make the crust nice, thick and chewy? The garlic salt could also add to the taste and flavor of the pizza."
Now that he had shared his thoughts, Cris turned to Jasmine. "So what would you like me to do, Jasmine. These hands are prepared to do anything," Cris asked his girlfriend. Yes she was the cook between the two of them. She would know which task he would be able to undertake without making a mess of it.
Jasmine thought about the best way to divide up the remaining tasks. Turning to Cris, she said,
"I can give the dough a try.
"How about after that you poke some holes in the dough with a fork. Then you can drizzle the olive oil on it and sprinkle the garlic salt."
Jasmine put the pizza stone in front of them and removed the cover from the bowl containing the dough. She decided to go with the thick crust and forego the rolling pin. Taking the big ball of dough out of the bowl, she began to knead it. Pushing the dough forward with the heel of her hands, Jasmine then pulled it back toward her with her fingertips. Back and forth she went, kneading the dough over and over until she felt that it was ready.
Finally Jasmine began to spread the dough out and stretch it into a circular shape. Bigger and bigger she made it until it started to resemble a real pizza crust. Carefully pinching around the edges, Jasmine tried to finish off the pizza crust. There would be no tossing the crust, not by her anyway. She just saw that as a disaster waiting to happen so she left it alone. When she felt that she had done the best that she could, Jasmine turned it over to Cris.
"It's all yours", she said. Then Jasmine stepped aside to let Cris take over?
