🥖 Cheesy Beefy Rolls
🛒 Ingredients
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (7 g / 2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 egg
For the filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup (optional, for moisture)
For brushing:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the dough
- In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, melted butter, and egg. Knead until smooth and elastic (~8–10 minutes).
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Cook the filling
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until soft.
- Add ground beef, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
- Stir in tomato paste (if using) and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix in shredded cheese.
3. Assemble the rolls
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8–10 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a small circle, place 2–3 tbsp of filling in the center, and fold the edges to seal. Shape into smooth rolls.
- Place rolls seam-side down on the baking tray. Brush with beaten egg.
4. Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
⭐ Tips
- Add finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for an ultra-cheesy crust.
- Serve with ketchup, marinara sauce, or a spicy dip.
If you want, I can also give a faster version using store-bought dough that’s just as cheesy and flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
