Flatten the bread with a roller.
Cut the bread slice diagonally at the four corners, just half way to the centre. Keep the filling in the middle. Close the filing with each cut part of the bread forming a flower shape and place in the greased cup cake mould.
Make flowers with the remaining slices in the same way and place it in the cup cake mould.
Bake it in the preheated oven for 10 mins.
