Tortilla

How can I shape my dough to be perfectly round using a rolling pin?

I'm trying to make perfectly (or close to perfect ;) ) round

flat-breads, pastries and the like (i.e. pizzas, rotis, tortillas etc.). I've tried to shape the dough to be round by rolling over it gently and tried every way that I could think of...maybe I'm doing it wrong because it always comes out weird. I no longer want weird shaped flat breads! : ) I want perfection! : ) Some people can do it so effortlessly! I too want that gift! : )



I know I can easily buy a machine to get nice flat round dough, but I want to know any tips or tricks that can help me lead to perfection when it comes to rounding out the dough with a rolling pin. Also, if there are how-to websites or videos online, please let me know. Although, I really want to hear from people who can shape their doughs to be nice & round *using a rolling pin* who can give me some advice.



Thanks a bunch! : )

1. I was taught that as you roll you give it a quarter turn so it is pin all the way acrsss in one direction...... turn dough a quarter turn....... all the way across not back and forth. If you apply the same pressure you should get a circle. I added a couple links for dough making video and pictures
