Add remaining flour and continue mixing until well blended; knead on floured board until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Grease surface of dough. Let rise for 30 to 40 minutes in a warm place. Punch down dough; divide it into desired sizes. Form into balls and let them rise again for 30 minutes. Flatten dough pieces. Spoon prepared filling into the center. Seal dough and shape into small balls. Place a piece of clean paper at the bottom of the balls to prevent them from sticking to the steamer.
