Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

  2. 7

    Season the Filling

    Add black pepper and paprika to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 8

    Add Cheese and Egg

    Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and beaten egg until well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 9

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 10

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  3. 11

    Cut the Dough

    Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough. You should have enough to make about 20 boots.

  4. 12

    Fill the Dough Circles

    Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

  5. 13

    Add Toppings

    Brush the tops of the filled dough with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped parsley.

  6. 14

    Bake

    Place the filled dough boots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 15

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious 20 boots!
