4. form the dough in to a ball and cut it in half. reform in too 2 balls. Wrap them in saran wrap and place the in the refrigerator. ( I left mine in over night.)
5. roll one ball at a time between 2 pieces of parchment paper. If you have trouble getting it off. Just pop it in the freezer for a few minutes.
