Why is it called mezones if it is hamotzi (should have been with orange juice or apple juice)
Thanks!

Amounts The quantity of dough is equal to one recipe of filling? So one would have to choose one filling, right?

Correct the dough should yield around 30. If you want to make multiple fillings I would suggest halving the filling recipe, then you can get 15 of each.
