Transfer dough to a floured work surface and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a floured work surface into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it does not stick to the surface.
