Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1/2 pound ground beef or pork (or a combination of both)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and warm milk. Stir until a dough forms.
- Add the butter and knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
- Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- If using, stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small, equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Spoon a small amount of the meat mixture into the center of each disc.
- Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as is!
