Unfold and reshape, if needed; cover with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.Using a pizza wheel, cut each rectangle in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into strips 3/4 inches wide and 8 inches long. (You should have 48 strips-roll each strip into a rope and place them 1/2 inch apart on an oiled baking sheet (breadsticks will stretch to 9 or 10 inches). Or, transfer the strips to the baking sheet and pinch ends to the center to form a pretzel, pressing ends for a crimped effect. You can also twist the strips (like cheese straws) and place on the sheet.
