Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm, dry place, free from drafts, for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down, and divide into 2 equal portions. Knead each portion for 1 min Shape each dough portion into a 5" round by pulling the sides down, pinching and tucking them under the bottom center of dough, forming a smooth, taut surface on the top.
