When the DOUGH course completes, press CANCEL for BB-PAC20/BB-CEC20 models and START/RESET for BB-HAC10 model. Remove the dough from the baking pan onto a lightly dusted board. For BB-PAC20/BB-CEC20 models, divide dough into two, and roll each dough into a 1/4” thick, 12” x 9” sheets. For BB-HAC10 model, roll the dough to make one 1/4” thick, 12” x 9” sheet.

Cover and let rest in a refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
