Meat in Dough
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. I shaped the meat in the dough right on the work table so the process would be more visible against the light background. I recommend doing this directly on a greased baking sheet so you won’t have to transfer the assembled “chessboard” to the baking sheet for baking later! Good luck! Look—the appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Take a rectangular piece of dough. No need to roll it out! Leave 1–1.5 cm from the edge and cut the dough into strips with a knife. The strips should be 1.5 cm wide.

And so continue until you run out of dough and meat. Shape the edge nicely. I cut a thin strip of dough from the top, covered the bottom edge with it, smoothed it out, and trimmed off the excess.
