Step 3
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 mm, then transfer it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Prick the dough several times with a fork to prevent it from rising. Usually, šuliks are broken apart after baking, but you can mark these break lines right away. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown—be careful not to over-dry.
