   Then, gently stretch the dough by holding both ends. The rested dough is very soft and won't break easily. If the middle is thicker, hold both ends and slap the dough on the work surface, stretching it as you slap. At this point, the area pressed with the rolling pin in the middle will become transparent. Tear the dough in half along this line.
