Preparing the Dough

Mix wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until you get a smooth and elastic dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough thinly and cut into circles. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each circle, fold the dough over the filling, and press the edges to seal.
