Oil the surface you're working on with a few drops and divide the dough into two (use weight for accuracy)

Using a rolling pin or your hand, apply pressure on the ball and spread it lenght wise in an oval shape
Fold it, length wise from one side and bring the other side on top of it. Then roll it with your hands into a rope and repeart with all the pieces. If the ropes shrink as you try to roll them, let them rest for a few minutes to allow the gluten to relax and then try again.
