- Roll 1 1/2 tablespoons dough between your palms to form a log. Connect ends by pinching together, resembling a small doughnut. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
