    Position the dough landscape-wise and roll up the dough tightly. Seal the edges to make sure dough does not unroll.

    Move rolled up dough to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Leaving one centimeter at one end of the roll, use a sharp knife to cut lengthwise down the middle and completely through the other end.

    Gently rotate each half of the dough away from the center so the inside of the roll is facing upwards. Bring one half over the other.
