- Divide the dough into walnut-sized balls / maybe a little bigger. Make a feta cheese with a fork if it is not salty enough. Add salt. Spread each ball in a circle so that it is not thin. Put it in each small filling / teaspoon. on which you previously placed the baking paper.Repeat the process until you have used up the ingredients.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200C / some 20 Min or until you see that they have got a nice color and started to move on the protvan.
