- Roll the risen dough into a log, cut 6 balls from it and roll them out on a floured surface into thin discs. Roll the dough into circles and place filling in each.
- Close them so as to form triangles, pinching the edges lightly, and arrange in a previously greased and floured baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 220 degrees.
