Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, ensure the olives are thoroughly drained and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: A dry surface on the olive helps the dough adhere properly.

Take about a teaspoon of dough for each olive, flatten it in your palm, and wrap it around the olive, pinching the seams to seal it completely.
Aproximativ 14 min.
Nota bucătarului: Roll the wrapped olive between your palms to create a smooth, even ball.
