Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Filling
- 300 g ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For Topping
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Extra mozzarella cheese
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for about 30–40 minutes until it rises.
Step 2 – Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped onion with a little oil until soft. Add the minced garlic and ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook until the meat is fully browned. Remove from heat and mix with chopped parsley.
Step 3 – Assemble the Rolls
Roll the dough into a large circle on a floured surface. Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
Step 4 – Bake
Place the roll seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle extra cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5 – Serve
Let it cool slightly before slicing into thick rolls. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Pizza Rolls
