Advice on dough prep

When I make dough, it's the lazy man way. I set my bread machine to the
dough setting and waiting for the beep.
After this, I place the dough ball in an oiled bowl and I give it a few
hours to rise. The ninety minute cycle doesn't rise it enough. After my
extra rise, it's always beautiful.
Often times the dough isn't used right away. Half is used for pizza or naan,
then the rest gets a celo wrap and into the fridge.
My problem occurs when rolling the dough out, it wants to recoil every
time and I have to continue rolling it and rolling it until it finally
obtains the desired thickness and shape. Is there a way I can fix this?

time to "relax".
I usually make 7 pizzas shells at a time, so I start on the
first, when it starts getting too elastic move to the next. When I get
to the 7th the first one is easy to roll again. Repeat as necessary.
PS I make batches of 7, bake them, let them cool, put them in
the freezer and take out one at a time. I'm not a hog...

fridge), you need to let it rest/relax between handlings. Just
cover it with plastic wrap however it lays in the counter and walk
away for 15-20 minutes at a time. And then come back and work
quickly. And don't keep balling it up. The gluten will start to
stiffen up again every time you handle it.

dough for pizzas, try using Italian "00" flour instead. The gluten
content is lower and it makes great pizzas.

After you warm the dough up, let it relax for 15 minutes or so before

rolling it out.
Alternatively, flour the backs of your hands and learn to toss the
dough; it's fun!
