2.
Divide dough in half. On an ungreased baking sheet, shape each half into a 14x2-in. rectangle. Bake until firm to the touch, 20-25 minutes.

3.
Cool on pans on wire racks until cool enough to handle. Transfer loaves to cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1/2-in. slices. Place upright 1-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 12-14 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
