-Divide the dough into two equal parts.

Further process & Baking 
-Grease a rectangular or a square baking tray with butter.
-Take one part of the dough,roll it into the size of the tray and place it on the greased tray(level it properly).
-Prick it here and there using a fork.
-Now spread the pineapple filling over and level it.
-Roll the other part(just like the first one) and place it over the filling.Prick the top part (as done for the previous one). 
-Preheat the oven at 300ºF and bake* for 1/2 an hour(adjust according to your oven settings)
-Cut into square shapes and serve.

*While baking when you feel the bottom part is baked completely and crunchy but the top part is not yet baked properly then turn your oven's settings mode to only 'top part baking' and bake for 7 to 10 minutes or till done.
*For the filling part you can use Pineapple jam instead of cooking Pineapple with sugar etc...
*Use yogurt little by little while kneading,sometimes you won't be needing the extra 1 or 2 tbsp as mentioned in the ingredients.
*If using salted butter,then avoid using salt from the ingredients.
