3. Cut the camembert cheese into 6 pieces
4. Now take out your dough to see if it's ready! Use a finger poke the dough, if it's doesn't collapse, means it's proofed and ready.
5. Degas the dough by punching it.
6. Use a weighing scale to divide the big ball of dough into 6. Reshape it into balls and place under cling wrap to rest for 10 mins.
7. Get the egg wash bread crumbs ready in separate bowls.
8. Take the small balls of dough now and flatten it into 12cm circles
9. Place the cheese and curry filling in the middle.
10. Pull up the dough to the middle and seal the seam tightly.
11. Coat the outside with egg wash then with bread crumbs
12. Place it on a baking tray (opening seam side facing downwards). Press a little and shape it here.
