The dough

All the components were ready, so the next step was to make some dough. It had to be big enough to line a gallon-size bowl, with enough over the sides to close up the top. It was a workout rolling the dough into a 25" round. Then (after having read a tip on the web) we folded the dough into quarters, lifted it into the bowl, and then unfolded it. Worked pretty well.
