5. On a well-floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle about 30 cm in diameter. The dough should be thin but not transparent. Repeat with the second half of the dough. Using an inverted cup (about 12 cm in diameter), cut out about 3 circles from each piece of dough. After cutting, gather all dough scraps, roll them out again, and cut additional circles.
