In the video, a person is seen making a dough-based food item. They start by placing a ball of dough on a piece of dough that is spread out on a surface. The person then presses down on the dough ball with their fingers to flatten it out. After that, they use their hands to shape the dough into a specific form. The person repeats this process with another dough ball, placing it on the dough and shaping it. The video does not provide any information about the final product or the purpose of the dough-based food item.
