Place the ball on the cookie sheet and
roll with a rolling pin until you have a large rectangle, just less than 1/4 inch thick.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces; roll out 1 piece of dough
with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface: it should be about 2 mm thick.
Roll the dough
flat with a rolling pin in - between the two sheets of wax paper until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick.
I placed a second piece of plastic wrap on top of my dough, then rolled

I suggest holding one edge of the parchment with one hand and rolling away from that hand

Step # 5: Place the dough between 2 parchment papers and roll it flat

After the mixture is about 1/4 inch thick, continue to flatten it by rolling the

If you don't have actual graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing 10 graham cracker

Place the graham crackers in a zip - top bag, seal bag and

However, a tortilla press can be used to start the process of creating a nice small round tortilla that can then be rolled into a larger
size with a rolling pin.
While this recipe uses a food processor to smash up the graham crackers, I have set the
kids with a rolling pin and graham crackers in a plastic bag.
And though you can roll the pasta by
hand with a rolling pin, a pasta machine makes a huge difference in the final product.
