How to Keep Dough From Sticking to Your Table

Dough is used in a variety of products. Yeast-free dough can be rolled out and cut or shaped to form biscuits, scones, cookies or pie crust. Yeasted dough is kneaded, left to rise, kneaded again in some cases, then formed into pretzels, pasta, pizza crust, rolls or breads. Unchilled dough, especially, has a tendency to stick to the working surface, so you must take extra steps to prevent a sticky mess.
