2. divide the dough and roll into small balls to about 15 pieces and set aside.
3. divide the filling into small balls to 15 pieces. (the filling must be smaller than the dough)
4. with your thumb and the palm of your hand, flatten the dough balls and place the filing at the center, and seal the dough. (make sure that the filling is completely sealed inside the dough)
