Divide the dough: Once the dough is mixed, divide it into three equal parts.

Shape the dough: Roll each portion of dough into a log shape and place them on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Leave enough space between the logs as they will spread during baking; it’s best to place only two logs on one tray!

Flatten the rolls: Use your fingers to gently flatten each roll slightly, preparing them for baking.
