Sprinkle the table with flour, roll out the ball of dough into a round cake, in the middle of which put the cheese ball. Gather the edges of the dough and lift over the filling, pinch. Get a kind of bag. Turn this bag over with the seam down and gently roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 8-10 mm, make a hole in the center with your finger so that the cake does not swell during baking.
