C. while maintaining the temperature within the above range for 2-10 minutes, rolling the dough thus obtained into a sheet of a uniform thickness, cutting the resulting sheet into the desired shapes and then baking the thus formed dough pieces until they become fully expanded forming a hollow space within them.
