4. Put the finished dough on a board, divide into 12 pieces, form into balls, be sure to cover with a towel to prevent the dough from getting windy.

5. Roll out each piece of dough into a circle, put the filling inside, shape the pies, place them seam-side down on a baking sheet covered with parchment, cover again with cling film, and leave to proof for 30 minutes.

6. Bake the pies in a preheated oven at 180 C until done.
