• Cut the dough into four 11-ounce pieces. Pull the opposite edges of one piece together, wrapping them underneath to form a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the balls in 1 gallon containers or bags and refrigerate overnight.
• Place the dough balls on the counter, uncovered, and cut each in half. Flip the smooth side of one of the pieces over and fold together longways, pinching to seal. Turn the piece of dough over so the seam is on the counter. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Make 3 diagonal slices down each roll. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
