Tips

  • If you have a mixer, you can use it for the dough instead of folding by hand.
  • Add sauce and cheese only to the middle of the dough pieces so the edges can stick together properly when sealing.
  • I like to spread a bit of oil on the parchment paper.
  • If freezing, once cooled on a rack, place the rack in the freezer for 1-2 hours until they are hard before wrapping.
  • Keep an eye on them while baking from frozen.
