Then pat it out into one last rectangle about an inch thick, and cut into squares.Place each square on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about an inch or two apart.  Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.Tip: I use a bench scraper to mix, fold, and cut the dough.</blockquote>
