Poke a hole in the middle with a finger and make a ring that's around 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Bring the ring together into 2 lines and cut on each end. Cut each of them into 2. Again, cut each of those into 2. And cut each of those into 4. You'll end up with 32 pieces. Cuttting in the middle each time will ensure the dough pieces are the same size.
