to the bowl or mixer bowl.
Mix with a mixer or with a spatula.

(Rolling Out the Dough)
Cut off about:
1 1/2 - 2 ft. of plastic wrap
& lay out flat.

Since the dough will roll out to be larger than the width of the plastic wrap, cut off another piece about:
1 1/2 - 2 ft of plastic wrap
& lay it flat overlapping the other piece of plastic wrap.

Tape the corner ends to your counter top.

Form the dough into a rectangular shape & flatten the dough on the wrap, keeping it in a rectangular shape.

Cut off about:
1 1/2 - 2 ft. more plastic wrap
Cover the dough with it.

Cut off another piece about:
1 1/2 - 2 ft of plastic wrap
& lay it flat overlapping the other piece of plastic wrap.

Roll out with a rolling pin or side of a smooth jar or glass to a little larger size than the cookie sheet.

Remove the top plastic wrap from crust.
Fill in dough by cutting off edges & add where needed.
If necessary, put the plastic wrap back on & roll the dough again & then remove the plastic wrap from the crust.

Then, with the edge of a knife, push the edges in, to form a more even rectangle that is larger than the cookie sheet.

(Getting the Crust in the Pan)
Loosen the tape & put your hand under the plastic.
Flip the crust onto the cookie sheet & move it around with the plastic wrap until centered on the cookie sheet.

Remove the plastic wrap.
May need to fill in the dough some by cutting off edges & move where needed.

Crimp edges, pushing dough where it needs to go, filling the gaps & making it look even.

To make the top of the crust even, you can push down the top of the crust along the sides of the cookie sheet with the side of a knife.
