Divide dough into two balls, place on two separate sheets of plastic wrap, flatten into discs, wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or in the freezer for 1 hour.

3. 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

4.

Remove chilled dough from the fridge or freeze.  Dust surface and rolling pin with all-purpose or coconut flour.  Roll the dough 1/3 inch thick or even thicker.
