Form the dough into a ball and place into a  greased bowl. Cover with a cheesecloth and leave at room temperature for an hour. Roll the dough out on a well-floured board. Cut into small triangular pieces. Put one teaspoon of filling in center and fold over edges to make three-cornered pockets. Pinch touching edges together to seal. Bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees until lightly golden.
