Shaping the roses On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Use a glass to cut out circles. Take three circles, slightly overlap them, roll into a cylinder and cut in half – you will get two roses.
Baking Place the roses cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 15–20 minutes until golden.
