Put dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rie until doubled in size. 7. Punch dough down, divide into 24 equal parts. Shape each into a ball, then flatten to ½ inch thick. 8. Place onto a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 425°F until lightly browned.

Remove and cool on a rack. 9. Split each like an English muffin, return halves to oven, split side up, and bake at 150-200°F until crisp and dry throughout, about 2-3 hours.

* May substitute grated orange peel and ½ tsp cumin.
