Preheat oven to 400° F.
Roll dough into balls slightly bigger than 1 inch and pat into flat discs. Prepare a parchment-lined sheet pan with butter or spray oil. Prepare a work surface dusted with flour and place 1 round in the center.
Dust top of dough with flour and using a rolling pin, roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thick. Place a spoon full of rhubarb in the center and spin the edges of dough, overlapping them in a rustic fashion. Place on the prepared sheet pan and repeat with remaining dough and filling.
