nikked said:Because you're rolling dough. Just like you need to flour the counter before you roll dough out, when you're rolling dough directly on a stone, you need a little bit of flour to keep it from sticking.
That's my theory, and I'm sticking (hehehehehe) with it! Anyone else have one?
Could you give us more hints PLEASE!!!
Sorry I just could not resist it....

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to flour a non-stick stone for a Chocolate Pecan Tart?
To flour a non-stick stone for a Chocolate Pecan Tart, lightly dust the surface with flour using a sifter or a fine mesh strainer. Ensure that you cover the entire surface evenly, tapping off any excess flour to prevent clumping.
Do I need to grease the non-stick stone before flouring it?
No, you do not need to grease a non-stick stone before flouring it. The non-stick surface is designed to prevent sticking, and adding grease may cause the flour to clump and not adhere properly.
Can I use a different type of flour for dusting the non-stick stone?
Yes, you can use different types of flour for dusting, such as all-purpose flour, cake flour, or even gluten-free flour. Just ensure that the flour you choose is finely milled to avoid any gritty texture.
How much flour should I use when preparing the non-stick stone?
A light dusting is sufficient, typically about 1-2 tablespoons of flour. You want to ensure the surface is coated without excess flour that could affect the texture of your tart.
What should I do if my Chocolate Pecan Tart still sticks to the non-stick stone?
If your tart sticks, it may be due to not enough flour or the tart being left in the stone for too long. To prevent this, ensure an even dusting of flour and allow the tart to cool slightly before attempting to remove it from the stone.
