Pull the edges up and over the filling, sealing at the top. Set the sealed dough pouch seam-side down. Repeat for all. Cover and rest for 30 minutes. - Roll and Cook
Flatten a dough pouch gently and roll into an 8–9 inch circle. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. the flatbread on the pan, cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip. Brush the top with oil or butter, cook until both sides are golden. Repeat for all. - Finish and Serve
