- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Divide it into 6 equal pieces.
- Form each piece into a 6-inch-long log; if the dough is sticky, wet your hands slightly.
- Transfer 3 logs to each baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and brush it all over the logs.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the logs are springy to the touch.
