Now that you have everything time for the last prep phase
Cut the dough into six pieces, and round them up so they'll be around 6 cm in diameter, with about 5 mm thickness
Take a little mash and place inside the dough, close the edges so all the mash will be covered then flatten until the mash almost burst through the thin dough.
