The filling can of course be varied, but this is my favorite filling

Mix the flour, salt, margarine, and quark with the dough hook of a mixer or in a food processor until you have a smooth dough. For the filling, press the sausage meat out of the skin, crumble the feta cheese (or mash it with a fork), and mix it with the sausage meat and breadcrumbs. Season with spices and herbs to taste. Roll out the dough on a well-floured work surface (about 1/2 cm thick) and cut out circles. I always do this using a plastic bowl with a diameter of about 15 cm, but you can also make them smaller. Place some of the filling on these circles, brush the edges with egg yolk, fold over, and press down. The pocket is ready. You can also brush the outside of the pocket with egg yolk for a nice brown finish. Bake at 150°C (top/bottom heat) for 30 minutes. You could also sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or cheese on the pockets. Of course, the filling can be easily adapted to make it suitable for vegetarians. I also think that if you add sugar to the dough instead of salt, you could also fill the pockets with jam, compote, or Nutella.
