become less sticky and more of a mass when enough water has
been added. Finally, knead the dough minimally in the bowl to make
sure it has just enough moisture.
Divide the dough in half. (One mound of dough should weigh
approximately 10½ ounces.) Place each half on a sheet of plastic
wrap and seal it. Gently form each one into a disk roughly ¾-inch
thick. Place the wrapped dough in the refrigerator and leave it for at
least 1 hour, or up to 2 days, before rolling it out. The dough can be
frozen for up to 1 month and defrosted in the refrigerator before
using.
