Step 1: Cut the Dough

Add pizza stone or large baking sheet to the oven. Preheat to 450°F.

On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into 4 equal sized pieces (alternately, you can make two larger portions of cheese bread rather than 4 smaller portions). One at a time, roll the dough balls into long, thin ovals.
