how to proceed- Divide the dough into 5 equal portions.
- Roll out each portion of the dough into a 50 mm. (2") diameter circle.
- Place one portion of the filling in the centre of each rolled dough circle and bring the ends together so as to seal the filling inside completely.
- Roll out the stuffed dough circle to make a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle taking care to ensure the filling does not spill out.
