Ingredients**

For the Dough (Quick Puff Pastry-style):

  • 3 ½ cups (450 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 packet (7 g) instant yeast
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

For the Filling:

  • 250 g ground beef or sausage (or turkey)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella or white cheese
  • 3 tbsp cream cheese or béchamel sauce (optional for creaminess)

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions**

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and beaten egg.
  • Gradually mix in cold butter cubes by rubbing them slightly into the flour (do not fully melt; they’ll create layers).
  • Knead briefly until a rough dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

2. Make the Filling:

  • In a pan, heat olive oil. Add onions, garlic, and sauté until translucent.
  • Add ground meat, seasonings, and cook until browned. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Mix in the shredded cheese and cream cheese/béchamel. Set aside.

3. Shape the Rolls:

  • Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (½ cm thick).
  • Cut into rectangles (approx. 10×12 cm).
  • Add 1 tbsp of filling near the edge and roll tightly into a log shape.
  • Place seam side down on a greased tray or baking sheet.

4. Bake:

  • Brush each roll with egg wash.
  • Let rise for another 15–20 minutes while oven preheats to 190°C (375°F).
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.

🍴 Serving Suggestions:

  • Perfect warm as a snack or breakfast.
  • Serve with a yogurt dip or mint tea.
