Allow one dough piece per serving and divide the dough into equal pieces and share the filling between them. Roll each into a very thin disc. Fill half, leaving the edge clear, dampen the edge, fold over and pinch closed. Use the frying oil across the batches. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook each bread for about 3 min per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a rack.
