  5. In each disk (from the balls) add some fillomh, an olive, half an egg, some raisings and close.
  6. Sometimes is good to close with some water or battered egg (to assure it doesn't open)
  7. Pinch it a bit to assure the air flows in the oven. (make some small holes)
  8. Put them in the oven until the have a golden color. (20 to 30 minutes)
