preparation
1. Quarter the dough. Roll each quarter into a ball so it's easier to cut in half.
2. Cut each of the quarters in half. Shape the balls by pressing them together at the base with the flats of your hands.
3. Roll each of the balls into 6-inch disks. Flour as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Put the floured sheet pans in the oven for 5 minutes. Put the disks, two at a time, directly on the heated sheet pan. Bake until lightly brown. Let cool.
