9. The dough is ready.

10. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Flatten it with your palm to release the trapped air.

11. Roll up the dough, cover with a lid, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

12. After the rest, roll out the dough with a rolling pin again.

Flip the dough over, so the smoother side will be facing out after rolling up.
