Step 1 Stretch the dough with your hands. If at any point the dough becomes very resistant, cover and let it rest for a few minutes. |
Step 2 Press the dough out with your hands. Use a little flour or olive oil to keep it from sticking. |
Step 3 Alternatively, roll it out with a pin; either method is effective. |
