Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently fold it onto itself. Divide the dough into six pieces, then shape each piece into rounds. Press an indentation into the center and then add a tablespoon of guava paste. Place the dough on a tray lined with parchment paper, allowing room to spread. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
