Instructions:

  1. Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a 12 inch (30 cm) long log. Place logs 2 inches (5 cm) apart on prepared baking sheet; flatten logs to 3/4 inch (2 cm) thickness, leaving slightly rounded tops.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let logs cool on a rack for 10 minutes.

Bake an additional 15 minutes at 350 degrees rotating pans halfway through baking time. Transfer to racks and let cool.
