"Failed to parse content to map" "Unexpected character '}'

I am trying to create mapping in Elasticsearch, however, it doesn't work. It seems to have some issues with {. I cannot find the cause of it, in my opinion it seems fine. Could you help me?

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/data?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d 
'{
{
   "settings":{
      "number_of_shards":"1",
      "number_of_replicas":"1"
   },
   "mappings":{
      "properties":{
         "data":{
            "type":"nested",
            "properties":{
               "title":{
                  "type":"text"
               },
               "sources":{
                  "type":"keyword"
               },
               "flags":{
                  "type":"keyword",
                  "null_value":"NULL"
               },
               "steps":{

                              "null_value":"NULL"
                           }
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
}'

I am getting this error:

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "parse_exception",
        "reason" : "Failed to parse content to map"
