How to Roll a Dough Sheet and Make a Bottom Crust

(1) Place a disk of dough on top of the floured surface and sprinkle it with a little more flour. Place your rolling pin in the center of the dough and roll away from yourself with firm, even pressure, but not enough force to squish the dough. As you approach the edge of the dough, use a little less pressure so that it doesn’t become too thin on the edges.

(2) Rotate the dough about 45 degrees. Place the rolling pin at the center of the disk and roll away from yourself once again.
