Ingredients for the dough:
200 ml warm milk 🥛
200 ml water 💧
1 tablespoon sugar 🍬
10 g dried yeast 🌾
30 g melted butter 🧈
600 g flour 🌾
1 tablespoon salt 🧂
For the filling:
3 tablespoons oil 🛢️
1 tablespoon minced garlic 🧄
500 g ground beef 🥩
Salt to taste 🧂
1 tablespoon paprika 🌶️
1 tablespoon onion powder 🧅
1 diced bell pepper 🌶️
Chives to taste 🌱
2 diced hard-boiled eggs 🥚
Parsley to taste 🌿
Preparation:
Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, water, sugar, and dried yeast. Let it rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast. Then, add the melted butter and mix well. 🥛🍶🧈
Add the flour and salt, and begin kneading until you have a soft, smooth dough. This will take about 10-15 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, you can add a little more flour. Let the dough rest, covered, in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. ⏳🥖
Prepare the filling:
While the dough rests, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. 🧄
Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Season with salt to taste, paprika, and onion powder, and mix well. 🥩🌶️
Add the diced bell pepper, chopped chives, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley. Mix everything together and cook for a couple more minutes. Then, pour the filling into a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool and firm up slightly. 🥚🌶️
Form the rolls:
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down the air and divide it into 12 equal portions. 🥖
Shape each portion into balls and stretch them slightly. Place a portion of the meat filling in the center of each rolled-out ball, then seal the edges to form a triangle or similar shape. Turn each roll over and place them on a greased baking sheet. 🔄🥩
Brush and bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the tops of the rolls with egg yolk to give them a nice shine. If desired, sprinkle with ground oregano for an extra touch of flavor. 🌿🍳
Bake for 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. 🕑🔥
Garnish and serve:
Once you remove the rolls from the oven, you can sprinkle them with chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy these delicious meat-filled rolls! 🌿🍞🥳
Tips for Perfect Rolls 🌟
Let the dough rest long enough for it to double in size. If you don’t wait long enough, the rolls may turn out dense instead of light and fluffy.
It’s important to chill the filling before using it to prevent the dough from becoming too moist and breaking during baking.
Be sure to knead the dough well until it’s smooth and elastic. This process is key to achieving a fluffy texture.
You can vary the filling by using different ingredients like mushrooms, spinach, or cheese, depending on your taste. The possibilities are endless! 🍄🧀🌶️
