Lose the music please

[roxyrollerusername]

you dont need to squeeze out the edges , nor do you need to cut around the edge. you just flatten it round, put your filling, fold , and lightly press the edges.... also its best if you use a cotton cloth - wet it and wring out the water and lay it flat. work the dough on that surface. WAY better than plastic.
