- Remove your dough from the bowl, cut dough equally in half. Flatten one of the dough into 8 inch width then cut into 1/2 inch strips, roll this strip to further slim it down to desired size. Bring end together then twist. Place twisted dough in a floured flat surface. Repeat the whole process with the remaining dough. Let it rest for 20-30 more minutes.
