Step 6
Cover the top with another layer of dough, also cut in the shape of a fish. From the leftover dough make scales—I used cream‑piping cones for cutting. Brush the dough with a mixture of egg yolk and a tablespoon of milk, and arrange the “scales.”

Step 7
Brush the top again with the egg‑milk mixture, firmly seal the edges of the dough with a fork, and make several punctures on the surface so that steam can escape during baking and the dough won’t deform.
