Gently stretch and knead the pizza dough on a clean countertop. Add a sprinkle of flour as you stretch the dough if the dough becomes sticky. Add flour to the rolling pin and roll the pizza dough until it is twelve inches across.
Transfer the dough to the baking pan or round pizza pan.
Add tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni.

Notes
Pizza dough should be at room temperature before you begin rolling it. If the dough has been kept in the refrigerator leave the dough on the counter for about twenty minutes before attempting to roll the dough. If the dough is too cold it won't stretch easily.
If a hole develops in the pizza dough while you are rolling it you can pinch it back together. If the hole continues to stretch roll the dough back into a ball and reroll agin.
