  3. Cover in oil and cling film and rest in fridge for 2 hours minimum.

The filling

  1. Peel, core and chop the apples.
  2. Toss them in sugar and cornflour.
  3. Combine with the lemon and cook until the cornflour thickens.
  4. Stretch the rested dough on an oiled surface with your hands, like a pizza but using oil. It must be translucent, almost paper thin. Cut rectangles about 10cm by 15 cm.
  5. Spread the filling like you would on a sushi roll and roll making sure the seam is at the bottom and the sides pinched close. Bake in preheated to 180 oven for about 20 minutes.
