In the video, a person is seen using a round cutter to cut out circles from a large piece of dough. The dough is placed on a floured surface, and the person presses down on the cutter to make a clean cut. The cutter is then lifted, and the excess dough is removed, leaving behind a perfect circle. The process is repeated several times, with the person carefully placing the cutter back on the dough and pressing down to make another cut. The video focuses on the precision and skill required to make perfect circles from the dough.
