Knead the dough again, divide it in half, roll each part into ropes about 3 cm in diameter, cut into 0.7 cm thick slices, and place on a parchment‑lined baking tray. Dice the candied ginger, brush the dough circles with beaten egg yolk, sprinkle with ginger, and bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes.
