    On a floured board with floured hands make 2 long thin loaves . Dough will be very soft. Place on a cookie sheet. Do not grease cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until golden edge. The dough will expand into two very nice loaves. They may touch that is okay.

    Reset Oven to 200 degrees. Cut rusks 1/2 inch thick while hot. Then return to the oven. Bake till lightly brown for 1 hour. ( a very slow oven) I take time to separate rusks allowing all sides to bake evenly. I set rusks on top of others making space between the rusks.
