Remove the top baking paper. Transfer the bottom piece of baking paper with the dough onto a baking tray (or alternatively you may want to flip over the rolled out dough into an oiled, round 10-inch diameter baking dish). Using your hands, press to leave a low rim around the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
