Lift the dough to the side; dust the dough and counter top with flour. Roll again until the diameter is an inch or 2 larger than that of the pie pan.Roll the crust onto the pin and then unroll the crust into a 9-inch pie pan and press it into place. Place in the freezer.Make the filling: in a large bowl, blend the rhubarb, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pour into the sauce pan and reduce to half.Fill in the crust-lined pie pan. Roll out the top crust. Dab the rim of the bottom crust with water to create glue. Then place the top crust over the rhubarb; trim, seal and cut several vents. Bake for 15 minutes; reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake 25 to 30 minutes more, or until a bit of pink juice bubbles from the vents in the crust.
