If I have forgotten to take pizza dough out of the fridge to rise, I hack it by turning on the oven so the top of the stove heats up. Then I toss a little olive oil in a gallon size ziplock bag, and add the pizza dough to the bag. I leave the bag open so the dough can rise. Then I stick the bag of dough in a kitchen towel, and leave it on the top of the stove for about 20 minutes. This adds gentle warmth to get the dough to start expanding. In moments of last minute pizza nights and desperation, I’ve also gently pulled apart dough over a hot pan of boiling water or other food I was cooking. The rise of the steam helps the dough become more malleable and ready to stretch.
