Wet your hands & knead the dough until it is well mixed. Transfer to an oiled 8½" round baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes or so & turn out onto a wire rack. Slice strawberries. If desired, toss with a couple of tablespoonfuls of sugar. Spoon over the still warm shortcake. Serve imemdiately.
