No worries Derek, it's going to take more than a comment on a forum to dowse that urge...

When I was in Italy the guy at the Pizza parlor made a rolled out 'round' of dough approx. 12" or so. He them crossed his hands (and probably his fingers:)) with the dough circle on top, then with an upward twisting motion launched it into the air, caught it and repeated it.

The dough is thinned and was kept in a somewhat circular shape by centrifugal force.

It looked hard to do, so i tried it at home. It wasn't too hard to twist and throw, catching the thing was a different matter.
With a little practice (same as the pancake comment) the end results were 'rustic' but looked the part and if you get good at it, it's nice eye candy.

(word of warning: the In - Laws place might not be the best place to start)

If you watch DDD Guy often has a go at this having de-blinged. There was a Pizza parlour in Shaftesbury Avenue where they used this technique as an advertisement. The guy there would spin bases so large hands weren't big enough and the radius would stretch from knuckle to elbow, still "tossing & catching".
For us oldens it was a "good Game" on the Generation game
