Knead the dough again for 5 minutes to form a smooth ball.

Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape them into balls.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roll each dough ball to 1/4 inch thick and brush with melted butter.

Fold the rolled dough in half and place on a greased baking tray.

Let the shaped dough sit for 15 minutes before baking.

Brush the tops with butter before baking.
