- Have two large baking trays lined with parchment paper ready
- Gently flatten each piece of dough, and lift and fold the edges of the dough over and onto the opposite side on the dough piece, repeat this process going around the dough. (This is building tension into the dough, but not so tight that it tears the dough)
