Preheat the oven to 230 degrees with a pizza stone or baking tray.

Carefully take out the hot pizza stone and sprinkle it with polenta. Also sprinkle polenta on the work surface and rolling pin, and roll the dough into a 25 cm circle. Then stretch the dough by hand from the center, pressing the edges with your fingertips - it doesn't have to be a perfect circle, but it should be thin enough.
