Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough (Optional):
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and melted butter, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shortcut: Use store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough or dinner roll dough for a quicker option.
2. Make the Filling:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (or use pre-portioned store-bought dough).
- Flatten each piece into a circle, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese in the center.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
4. Bake the Rolls:
- Arrange the stuffed rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
