Now roll the dough with the rolling pin on the wooden board into a round shape circle to 1/4 inch thickness.



Now preheat the oven to 400 F

Now take baking tray and line it with Foil paper / parchment paper.
Transfer the rolled dough carefully to the prepared tray ( I forget to transfer the dough in this step  :( )

Take each cut triangle from the inner circle and fold it over the arrange vegetables and tuck the tip of triangle into outer border. Follow and do the same procedure with every triangle to get a sunflower shape.

Brush the dough with oil/ milk/butter
