Transfer the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Shape it by hand into a long strip about 6cm wide; it doesn’t need to be too thick. Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven (do not turn the oven off) and let cool for 15 minutes.

Cooking Tips

If your baking tray isn’t long enough, you can divide the dough into two logs and bake them in two batches. If you like, you can add some dried fruits or nuts, but it’s already delicious as is.
