Instructions
Kubba Dough:

- Cook for five more minutes. Let the ground beef mixture cool down.
Assembly:
- Dip your hand in the water and take some dough. Make a ball about the size of a golf ball. Do the same thing with the rest of the dough and place them in a large tray.
- Make a hole in the middle of the ball with your index finger. Flatten out the sides by rotating the dough ball until the sides are thin.
- Add about 2 tablespoon of stuffing and then close the ball. Dip your fingers in water to shape out the ball (Watch the video for instructions).
- After you have stuffed and shaped them, lay them in a large tray that can fit in your freezer. Freeze them in the tray, once hardened, transfer them into a ziplock bag. Repeat until you use up all the dough and ground beef mixture.
