Fully thaw the puff pastry dough.
1 sheet puff pastry dough
Sprinkle a clean work surface with half the sugar, then place the dough over it.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Add the remaining sugar over the dough. Use a rolling pin to gently press it out in each direction.
Fold the long ends toward the center a quarter of the way in, then fold again so they touch but don't overlap.
Wrap the long dough log in plastic wrap and chill for 30 to 60 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Remove dough from plastic wrap and cut into 20 even pieces. Dip in remaining sugar, then place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet and let cool on a rack.

If you cut the dough in half, then into thirds, and each of those pieces into thirds, it is easier to make even slices than just starting from one end.
Use a serrated knife to cut without squishing the dough.
