Afterwards knead again vigorously. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 5 mm thickness. On one half of the dough mark 6 cm circles and place a teaspoon of apricot jam in each center. Fold the other half over and cut out 6 cm circles around the jam piles, pressing edges together well. Roll out remaining dough and cut similarly.
