1

Start by preparing the filling with chicken, but you can use shrimp or sausage if you prefer.

2

For the dough, mix 3 cups of flour with 6 tablespoons of Quali margarine until it reaches a point where it holds together when pressed but crumbles if pressed too hard.

3

If the dough is too dry, add a bit more margarine; if too wet, add more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.

4

Use plastic wrap to roll out the dough thinly for easy transfer to the baking dish.

5

Fill the dough with a generous amount of cream cheese and cover it.

6

Seal the edges and brush the top with egg yolk before baking.

7

Bake in the oven, watching until it turns golden brown.
