1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 375°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.

4

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean cuts.
