WENDY You use egg wash (lightly) to join bits together. In the case of the shape I was talking about, I egg wash the whole thing to give it a bit of a shine anyway and it's easier to do it before putting the filling on. I fold the edges in and give the folds a wash then too. For anyone who is nervous about shaping, you can make 'caracolas'. All you do for that is roll out the sheet of dough, put on filling of choice and roll up like a swiss roll. Cut into 1/2 inch slices and bake. (Good for dried fruits, spices etc.
