Content: flatten slightly into the shape of disks. The dough can be used immediately or refrigerated until ready to use (1-2 days max). To make the empanada disks, roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut out round disc shapes for empanadas (use round molds or a small plate). You can also make small individual balls with the dough and roll out each individual ball to a round shape (doesn't need to be perfectly round) - if you have a tortilla press you can use it to flatten the dough balls. You can also see more detailed step by step photos and video preparation of the empanada dough.
