Separate dough into 2 pieces and roll each one into a log, about 8 inches long. Place logs on a prepared baking sheet and flatten so they are about 3/4-inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly, and remove from baking sheets. Slice diagonally into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife.
