Cheesy Stuffed Meat Buns

In a large bowl, mix together flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine and knead into a soft dough.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Filling
While the dough is rising, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Cook the beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in marinara sauce and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Buns
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Flatten each dough ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each disc, followed by a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place the stuffed buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake the Buns
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for an extra crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish the buns with fresh parsley before serving. Serve them warm and enjoy!
