Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Separate the dough into 7 equal parts and shape into balls.

Roll out the dough balls to desired sizes, avoiding rolling too thin.
