# Required Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
400 g bread flour
02 -
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 -
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
04 -
1 packet (7 g) instant yeast
05 -
240 ml warm water
06 -
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
→ Filling
07 -
400 g lean ground beef
08 -
120 g smoked bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
09 -
120 g sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
10 -
1 small onion, finely diced
11 -
80 g tomatoes, diced and patted dry
12 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
13 -
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until well browned and no longer pink. Drain thoroughly and let cool slightly.
03 -
While the beef cools, cook the bacon until crisp and crumble it. Dice the onion finely and pat diced tomatoes dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
04 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll the rested dough into a rectangle approximately 40 cm by 28 cm.
05 -
Evenly spread the cooled beef over the dough, leaving a 1.5 cm border on all sides. Distribute bacon, onion, tomatoes, and grated cheddar evenly over the surface.
06 -
Starting from the long edge, tightly but gently roll the dough into a log, making sure not to squeeze out the filling. Pinch the seam to seal and place the roll seam-side down.
07 -
With a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the roll into 12 equal pieces, cleaning the blade between cuts. Arrange slices cut-side up in a greased baking dish with space between each.
08 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Bake for 25 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown on top, cheese is bubbling, and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
09 -
Serve hot from the oven as a main dish or appetizer. Offer with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or sliced pickles if desired.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Drain ground beef thoroughly to prevent soggy rolls.
02 -
Allow dough to rest after kneading for easier rolling and improved texture.
03 -
Pat tomatoes dry to minimize excess moisture in the filling.
04 -
Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss for clean slices.
