Hi there, Priscilla! To get your dough to roll out into a rectangle, you'll want to pat it into a rectangular shape, making sure that the dough is an even thickness before rolling it out to the required dimensions. By starting out with the shape you're looking to end up with, it'll be easier to manipulate the dough in the right direction. You'll also want to turn the dough 90° regularly to keep the shape and prevent the dough from sticking to the counter. If you find your corners are getting lost, don't be afraid to gently tug on the corners of the dough to encourage the rectangular shape. We hope this helps and happy baking!
