Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 1 hour till it doubles in size.
  • Transfer the dough into a silicon mat or work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and set it aside. Take the dough ball and flatten it slightly, place the filling inside this and seal it from all edges. Make it into a round shape and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Make every dough like this and place it in a baking sheet leaving some space between them, because they will expand.
