Cover the container with saran wrap
Let the dough rise for 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size
Once the dough is finished rising
Use a fork or hand and press down gently on the dough to release the air inside
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface
Knead for 3-5min
Put flour on hands and rolling pin to avoid sticking
