Grease baking sheets. Punch dough down and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 13 pieces. Shape 12 pieces into 12 inch long ropes. Fold each in half and twist top half of open end twice to form ears. Place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Shape remaining dough into 12 balls. Place one ball on loop end of each twist to make the tail. Press into dough to make stick. Cover and let rise 30 minutes till doubled. Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 12-15 minutes till golden brown.
