      • 1 tsp Red Pepper
      • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
      • 1 tsp Black Pepper
      • 1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
      • 3 tbsp fresh Coriander (chopped)
      • 1 beaten Egg (for egg wash)

    For the Cheese Filling:

      • 400 g (2 cups) Mozzarella Cheese
      • 260 g (1 cup) Feta Cheese / Cottage Cheese
      • 2-3 tbsp fresh green Coriander
      • 1 tsp dried Parsley
      • 1 tsp Aleppo pepper / Red pepper flakes
      • Sesame seeds / Nigella seeds for topping

    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.

    Storage

      • Room Temperature: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
      • Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the oven to restore their texture.
    • Freezing: These rolls can be frozen before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
