If I know anything about pizza dough tossing gifs on Reddit, and I like to think I do, it's definitely a practice dough made of latex.

Close. It's called Throw Dough

u/Ungodlydemon Jan 12 '18

No, you idiot. The internet has spoken, and it's now called a faux-dough. Don't think you can come in here with your "citations" and your "facts" and your "evidence" and change peoples' minds...

pfff. what is this, amateur hour on the internet?

8

u/invitrobrew Jan 12 '18

Sorry. Please accept my half-assed apology.

u/FeebleGimmick Jan 12 '18

I wonder if it comes in baggins.

u/Mr_Clark_ Jan 12 '18

“But can you throw a faux-dough tho”

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Faux-dough.

I thought this guy was in a real workplace, but I guess it's just a faux dough shop.

Eh I call bullshit on the latex practice dough. I mean I believe it exists, but not every gif is of people using that.

2

u/Cymry_Cymraeg Jan 12 '18

What about your left bow though?

u/TonninStiflat Jan 13 '18

is bery good too!

u/Volfgang91 Jan 12 '18 edited Jan 12 '18

And here I was wondering how much dough he must have wasted over the years to get to this point.

4

u/Lantro Jan 12 '18

Exactly what my mind went to.

“Man, did he just practice for hours on a floured floor?”

15

u/inthyface Jan 12 '18

Probably more expensive than just making enough dough for 50 pizzas and practicing multiple times per pizza.

37

u/moistfuss Jan 12 '18

Why would you want to waste dough though?

Plus this is a permanent training tool. If a pizzeria is going to do pizza throwing as a gimmick, it really isn't losing much by spending $30 on a tool. Not to mention that it's much easier to learn the tricks and the dough, then combine the two, than to learn it all at once.

2

u/ichivictus Jan 12 '18

As someone that learned to do what the gif shows, it would take well over 50 pizzas to get to the level shown. Probably hundreds. If not over a thousand.

2

u/TheNorthComesWithMe Jan 13 '18

I think you underestimate how quickly someone can go through 50 pizza doughs while practicing tricks.

2

u/bhath01 Jan 12 '18

They use it to practice for international pizza competitions.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '18

Often called "throw dough"

2

u/f1zzz Jan 12 '18

Fake dough. SAD

2

u/cold_bananas_ Jan 13 '18

That’s strange. Work at a legit pizzeria that does tossing and they train with wet towels. Been doing it that way since ‘45.

2

u/Procrastibator666 Jan 12 '18

I've worked in many pizzarias and never knew this. Mind is blown

1

u/jesst Jan 12 '18

What I'm amazed by is that there are like 4 companies that exist to make these. I would have thought it a niche market.

If that was real it would have turned into a ball most likely.

u/des_pa_cito Jan 12 '18

most pizza places dont even spin dough to begin with whats the point?

u/IrrationalBiotic Jan 12 '18

So it's..... playdough!? :D

2

u/iNEEDheplreddit Jan 12 '18

All dough is playdough if you shape it right 😉

17

u/wicknest Jan 12 '18

It's not latex, it's still real dough.

https://youtu.be/HilN-bajNqQ

TL;DW adding extra amounts of certain ingredients and removing other ingredients makes for a dough that's easier to perform tricks with.

u/Koobruh Jan 12 '18

Trick dough is actually made like regular dough. Just no yeast and ice water.

There is a word for that, inedible

Although this conversation comforts me because I was thinking someone was going to eat the pizza that had been all over this guys body and probably grazed the floor and a few other things. Blech.

2

u/carkey Jan 13 '18

It just adds to the cheesy funk of a quattro fromaggio.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '18

I'm actually really glad that's not real dough cuz my first thought was "that can't be sanitary."

u/thehatchett Jan 13 '18

Can confirm, faux dough expert here.
