Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape them into logs about 2 cm in diameter. Cut each log into 10 pieces. Form small crescents and flatten them a little. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly. Repeat with the remaining dough. Use a knife to make 5 slashes on each crescent, being careful not to cut too deeply.
