Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour a work surface, then use a rolling pin to roll the chilled dough out into a circle. Carefully roll the dough up around the rolling pin, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the filling to the crust, allowing excess juice to drip off and leaving about 2-inches of dough overhang on all sides. Gently fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping the dough every few inches as you go. Press down slightly to seal. Dollop.
