Getting pizza from counter to oven
I just made my first pizza. It's in the oven, but it was touch-and-go to get it there. I created it on the counter with corn meal beneath, it slid around fine, but trying to get the peel under it to transfer it to the oven was not happening. I ended up getting help and using parchment paper and the peel together to transfer it to the oven. Can someone describe a better way for me? Perhaps I should put to dough on cornmeal and on the (metal) peel before I add the toppings? I made enough dough for two, so I can try again tomorrow. Thanks for any insight.
