Dough

  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm milk and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • While the dough rises, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Stir in onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until onion is tender.
  • Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese, ketchup, and relish. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the meat filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a pocket.
  • Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
