Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin sheet.
Tip: Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough evenly.

Heat the caramel sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Tip: Stir the caramel occasionally to prevent burning.

Remove the palmier dough from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes.
