1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons instant yeast

3/4 cup warm milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the Filling:

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

For the Topping:

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Instructions

Dough Preparation:

Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Add wet ingredients: Mix in warm milk and butter until a dough begins to form.

Knead the dough: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Filling Preparation:

Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.

Season: Add salt, pepper, paprika, and barbecue sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined. Let cool.

Assembling the Rolls:

Roll out the dough: After the first rise, punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Add filling: Spread the beef mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Roll up the dough: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Slice the rolls: Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.

Second rise: Place slices cut side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover lightly, and let rise for 30 minutes.

Baking:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add cheese and egg wash: Brush each roll with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with cheddarcheese.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
