3. Place half the dough on a sheet of wax paper (if you slightly dampen the bottom of the wax paper it won't slide around on the countertop) and cover the dough with a second sheet of wax paper.
4. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to fit your pie plate.
5. Peel off the top layer of wax paper; place pie plate over pastry and invert so pie dough is evenly in pan.
