Roll 3/4 of the dough on a lightly floured surface slightly larger than the baking tray, grease the tray and line with dough. Trim excess and knead with remaining dough. Prick the base several times and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cool. Roll remaining dough to 5 mm thickness and cut into ~1 cm strips. Arrange these as spirals along the edges of the pre‑baked cake, pressing lightly.
