- Flat out the dough to a square (around 2-3cm or 1 inch thick), cut strings (4-5cm or around 2 inches thick), roll them up as a snail and place them on their side on a baking sheet lined baking tray (You can make any other shapes as well).
- Beat the egg and brush top of the snails, sprinkle them with sesame (or any) seeds if you wish, put them in pre-heated oven and bake them while golden brown at 190C/370F.
