- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven.

- Transfer the dough to a floured surface.

- Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Using a long spatula transfer the logs to a cutting board.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into slices about 2/3 inch thick.
- Arrange the slices on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake about 8 - 10 minutes.
- Turn the slices over and bake until crisp and dry, about 8 - 10 minutes longer.
