Abstract: A package of uncooked pizza dough is formed by folding a disk-shaped layer of dough over precut sections of wax paper or other release paper along parallel pairs of chord lines of specified chord height, defined by the wax paper sections, to form a compact package which is easily made, convenient to transport, efficient in use of materials, and readily stored and unfolded to the disk shape at a home or restaurant, so that manual shaping of the dough to disk form from a block of dough is unnecessary.
