→ Dough and Topping
07 -
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
08 -
2 cloves garlic, minced fresh
09 -
40 g melted unsalted butter
10 -
1 (about 250–300 g) tube pizza dough or crescent roll dough
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Pop your rollups in that hot oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Pull them out when they're perfectly golden and the cheese is bubbling. Keep your eyes on them during those last few minutes so they don't over-brown.
02 -
Melt the butter in a bowl (microwave or stovetop works), then stir in the garlic and, if you like, parsley. Brush it all over the tops of the rollups so they're extra flavorful.
03 -
Use a good sharp knife to slice the filled log into thick pieces, somewhere between 2.5 and 4 cm wide. Set the cut sides facing up on your lined baking tray, giving each one a little space.
04 -
Sprinkle that cheese all over the beef mix. Start on the long edge that has no border. Roll the lot up tightly so it forms a log. Pinch the seam closed to keep all the good stuff inside.
05 -
Lay your dough out on a floured surface. Working with crescent rolls? Push the seams together so it’s one big rectangle (about 23x33 cm). Spoon the cooled beef filling over the dough but leave about 2.5 cm free along one long side. Press the filling down gently.
06 -
Pour off the fat from your cooked beef, then toss in the crumbled beef bacon and stir till everything’s mixed. Take the pan off the burner and set it aside for 5 minutes to let things cool down.
07 -
Set your skillet over a medium-high flame. Cook the beef for about 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. When there's no more pink and it's crumbly, season with salt and pepper as you go.
08 -
Flip the oven on to 190°C. Put some parchment paper on your baking sheet to stop sticking.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Let your filling cool a tad before spreading it out, or the dough might start melting before you’re ready.
