- Bake the logs for 20 to 25 minutes, check if its cooked completely by inserting a toothpick in the center (it should come out clean).
- The logs will crack slightly on its surface – its okay. Let the logs cool completely on a rack.
- Cut each loaf into 1/2 inch slice and bake again (on the same baking sheet) for 10 minutes turning the the baking sheet midway.

I’ve read the recipe several times and can’t seem to figure out how hot the oven should be. Did I somehow overlook it?
It should be 350 F
