3. Using your hands start kneading adding the water slowly till it becomes a good pliable dough and sticks to your hands
4. Open the dough in the centre and put in the olives and kneed till the olives are spread as evenly as possible, trying to keep them all inside the dough as they will pop out while baking and burn.
