next step is hard to portray in photo because it needs both hands. wet your hands and grasp dough like in picture related but imagine both hands. rotate hands up like you are eating a sandwich to detach front of dough fron pan. let front of dough fold under and gently drop dough so now front 1/3 is folding under. rotate pan 180 and do the same from all angles.

you will do this 2-4 times until dough is robust and strong but let dough rest 45 min or 1 hour in between each time

time 1 dough is still very sticky and hard to work
time 2 dough seems stiffer and comes away easier
time 3 usually sweet spot. dough barely sticky and pulls away from pan easy and hold shape when folded
time 4 if time 3 does not sound like above
