2. Dust your work surface with flour and roll the dough out in a rectangle vertically in front of you. It should be about the quarter of an inch thick . Try to keep the edges straight, which is easier than done. Gently brush away excess flour on the surface of the dough.
3. Now fold the top edge down the center and do the same with the bottom edge.
4. Then fold the whole thing in half, top edge down the bottom edge as if you were closing a “Book” this is called Book fold 5. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
