• 6 Lay the dough disc over the open press mold.
• 7 Then, brush the egg wash around the edge of the empanada dough.
• 8 Next, scoop 1.5 tbsp of the cherry filling into the middle of the dough. Make
  sure that there is no filling on the edges of the dough, then close the press to
  seal the empanada.

  cooking process for the remaining empanadas.
