Why do you flatten the slider version twice, with theb10 minute rest between?
Simply to get them to the diameter I'm looking for. Usually when you're flattening yeast dough, it shrinks back a bit. If you wait 10 minutes and flatten it again, it'll be flatter (wider diameter) than it was the first time you flattened it. Remember, the more you pound on dough trying to flatten/stretch it, the more it'll fight back. So pull and flatten gently, and as soon as it starts shrinking back – walk away. When you come back, it'll cooperate! PJH
