1
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle measuring 35x30 cm, sprinkle with sugar, and fold the 35 cm edges to meet in the center. Then fold the resulting rectangle in half and cut it into 1 cm thick slices with a sharp knife. Place the cut slices cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, slightly unfold them, and press with your palm to form hearts.
