I figured out kind of a neat trick while making pizza tonight. I always have a difficult time stretching out the dough for the crust — it sticks, tears, folds in on itself, or all three as I try to transfer it to the baking stone. I have made some really lumpy pizzas. So tonight I lightly sprayed the bottom of a mixing bowl with cooking spray and stretched the dough over that. Then I just flipped it over onto the stone and unpeeled the sides. It wasn’t perfect, but it was the closest I’ve come so far!
