Sprinkle the surface where you will roll out the dough with flour in advance. Roll the dough thinly, then cut out circles (about 14 cm in diameter). Place filling on one half of each circle, fold the other half over the filling, and seal the edges of the buns tightly. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
