- 9.Place on a large cookie sheet, spacing well as these guys grow! Let rest for about 15 minutes. Brush tops with oil for a golden glow, sprinkle with Italian herbs, especially if there are some without certain ingredients, according to family likes and dislikes and you need to mark them somehow. Cut slits diagonally along the top as you would a pie, to allow steam to escape. Bake @ 500, on the mid rack of oven, for 10 minutes. Then check every two minutes until they are nicely brown. Let cool 10-15 minutes.
- Cut in half, at a diagonal, arrange on platter and serve with a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice!
