    Remove from fridge, flour board well and roll out paste to rectangle. Cut into 1" wide x 12" long strips (I use a pizza cutter). Twist and make into a circular shape. Place on greased or parchment papered cookie sheet and let rise 1 1/2 hours. Bake 12-15 minutes at 400F. Frost and sprinkle with your choice of nuts or coconut. toasted coconut is my personal favorite.
