Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

    1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
    2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
    3. Knead the Dough: Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  1. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

    1. Cook the Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions; sauté until softened and translucent.
    2. Add Minced Meat: Stir in the minced meat of your choice, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned.
  1. Season the Meat: Add paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh coriander. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

    1. Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, fresh green coriander, dried parsley, and Aleppo pepper. Mix well.
    2. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 10-12). Roll each piece into a circle (about 5-6 inches in diameter).
  1. Add Fillings: Place a spoonful of the meat filling and a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
  2. Egg Wash: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  1. Bake: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cooking Tips

    • Customize the Filling: Feel free to adjust the spices and herbs based on your preferences. Adding chopped bell peppers or spinach can enhance the flavor and nutrition.
    • Check the Dough: The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky. Adjust the flour as needed while kneading.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before assembling the rolls.
