Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Use a cotton thread or dental floss to cut the log cleanly.

If the dough is very sticky, add flour a spoonful at a time, not all at once.

Cover the tops with foil if they brown before 10 minutes.

Keeping What's Left

Best the day they are made. Keeps for 2 days in an airtight container; warm for 15 seconds in the microwave.
