For the Filling:

• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano

For Topping:

   • Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a small circle.
   • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the filling and seal well to form a ball.
   • Place the balls seam-side down on a greased baking tray.
4. Bake and Add Topping:
   • Brush the balls with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
