Method

Preparing the Bread

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil. Ensure the water is warm but not hot, as it may kill the yeast.

  3. 3

    Make Dough

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring. Continue to mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

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

Preparing the Filling

  1. 6

    Cook Meat and Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.

  2. 7

    Add Peppers and Spices

    Stir in the diced bell pepper, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

  3. 8

    Add Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

Assembling the Loaf

  1. 9

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it back to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 10

    Fill the Dough

    Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 11

    Roll and Seal

    Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal the loaf.

  4. 12

    Second Rise

    Place the loaf seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Baking

  1. 13

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 14

    Bake the Loaf

    Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

  3. 15

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm topped with sour cream, sliced green onions, and hot sauce as desired.
