Transfer each to a parchment-lined half sheet pan, then cut into 1-inch squares using a fluted pastry wheel, or just a knife or pizza wheel. Whisk egg, yolk, water, and salt together in a small bowl. Brush over prepared dough, then sprinkle with additional salt to taste. Using a bamboo skewer or chopstick, press a small indentation into the center of each dough square.
