- Divide dough into 8 pieces.
- Divide each piece again and form two equal oval pieces out of one half of the dough. If you want to fill it, you can put filling on one oval, brush water around the outside edge with your finger and put other oval on top to seal. for filling we have used; red bean paste, chocolate, nutella, cheese, ham. The traditional filling consists of marzipan and ground hazel nuts mixed together. Just use your imagination.
- Take the other half of the piece and divide it again. Use half as a piece for making an oval snout, you can punch out the nostrils with a straw. the other piece is formed into two triangular ears. All these pieces are glued on with water. You can add chocolate chip or raisin eyes, or put them on later.
- Brush pigs with beaten egg yolk.
