5. Roll out the pastry to a 30 cm (12 inch) square and cut in half.

7. Roll out the other piece of dough until it is 30 x 18 cm (12 x 7 inches), then fold in half lengthways.
8. Leaving a 5 cm (2 inch) margin at each end and 2.5 cm (1 inch) at the cut side, make horizontal cuts into the fold at 2 cm (3/4 inch) intervals.
