*RECIPE SNIPPED*

When dough starts acting like that the only thing you can do is walk
away from it for about 15 minutes and let the dough relax. The more
you try to stretch it the more it's going to spring back. After 15
minutes try stretching the dough again. If it starts to spring back
STOP and walk away for another 10 minutes.
