Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and position a rack in the center.
-
Step 2.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, then roll each portion between your palms into a smooth ball.

Working with one ball at a time, pat and press it with your hand or a rolling pin into a 5-inch circle about 1/2-inch thick, keeping the thickness even.

Place the shaped circles on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them an inch or two apart so they brown evenly.
