Let the dough sit on a floured counter for 10 minutes, covered with a towel.

Knead the dough again for a few minutes until it is smooth.

Place the dough in a greased glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.

Let the balls sit for 10 minutes, covered with a towel.

Roll each ball out to about 6 to 7 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
