- Dust bench counter lightly with flour, then transfer dough onto the floured surface.
- Knead dough briefly until no large patches of flour remains, then shape into a ball.
- Flatten ball to approx. 2-2.5cm thick, then transfer onto a lined baking tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
