Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rough bowl. Knead several times to make it smooth, then divide into two equal balls. Roll each piece into a layer with smooth edges (no cracks), cover with a plastic wrap and cool for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place the baking tray on the lower rack for preheating.
On a surface lightly sprinkled with flour, put one piece of dough, roll it into a thin even layer. Wrap it loosely around the rolling pin, and then unfold it in a baking dish, slightly oiled.
