diameter circle. 
Place one portion of the filling in the centre of the rolled dough. 
Surround the filling with the dough by slowly streching it over
the filling. 
Seal the ends tightly and remove excess dough. 
Roll each filled portion into a 2 1/2 inch diameter circle taking
care to ensure that the filling does not spill out.
