With a caliper rewind tool.
It is a key that fits into the notches or grooves on the caliper piston. Mine is about an inch cube with different configurations for model/car/year and works with a 3/8" drive ratchet. Can't recall for certain, but I believe you press and turn counter-clockwise.

I don't know if there is a better way but I have always just removed the brake fluid cap and used pliers (very gently so not score the caliper) and push it back in. Make sure not to contaminate the brake fluid when removing the cap and make sure to replace the cap when done. This eliminates the need to bleed the brakes.
