Let it sit out for at least an hour to come to room temp. Then try to reshape. I've done that and as it warms to room temp, I see it respond a bit. I didn't touch mine for about 2 hours. When I reshaped it, I did NOT punch it down. I tried to reshape with as little manipulation as possible. If it doesn't rise after reshaping, you will know. If it rises a only little but you think it will be a hard little rock, try to pull flat and use as pizza dough. I bet it will be great.

If making PIZZA: Pull it to circle shape starting at the outside working in. Don't touch the outside inch or so (the crust). Once shaped as a pizza, cover with a touch of oiled plastic wrap and a towel. Leave it rest again in a warmer place in your kitchen. After it sits for 30 min or so, top with sauce, toppings, mozz. and bake it hot, like 475f. It won't take long to bake, maybe 10 to 12 minutes. The center will have bubbles when it is ready. So even if the crust sucks, you can eat the toppings and cheese 🤣 SHAPING ADVICE: When shaping it, shape it onto a pizza pan or baking sheet. I have a pizza stone and preheat it 30 minutes. I put my dough on the back of a cookie sheet with corn meal under it. Once the pizza dough has rested and the oven and stone are hot, I top it. Then I open the oven door and pull the oven shelf toward me so I can easily reach it. Then I wiggle the pizza and cookie sheet in small quick back and forth movements to scoot the pizza on to the stone.
