(3) Add the olive oil and hand mix until the oil is thoroughly absorbed
(4) Gradually add the water and lemon juice and knead until the dough feels firm
(5) Cover the bowl and leave the dough, in a warm place, to rest for 40 minutes
(6) Re-knead your dough for about five minutes
(7) Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces and make each into a ball
(8) Roll each ball into a round shape which is 15cm in diameter and about 3mm thick
(9) Brush the edges with water and fill the centre with 2 Tbsp of stuffing
(10) Fold in half and seal the edges with a fork
