  Set aside to cool.
  
  Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
  
  On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to a
  14x9-in. rectangle. Cut out eight 3 1/2 X 4 1/2"
  rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough.
  
  Transfer 8 rectangles to parchment-lined baking sheets;

  edges of crust with egg wash. Top with remaining 8
  rectangles; press edges with a fork to seal. Brush tops
  with egg wash; cut slits in tops.
  
  Bake until crust is golden brown and slightly puffed,
  25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, melted butter,
  extracts and salt; drizzle over pies. Garnish with
  freeze-dried strawberries if desired. Let stand until
  set.
