On a lightly floured board, shape dough with your hands to form flat loaves that are about 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches wide, and as long as your cooky sheets. Place no more than than 2 loaves parallel and well apart on a buttered cooky sheet (one without a rim is best). Bake in a 375º degree oven for 20 minutes.


Remove from oven and let loaves cool on pans until you can touch them. Cut is diagonal slices about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Lay slices on cut sides close together on cooky sheet and return to the oven (375º degrees) for 15 minutes.
