Directions
- 1
Dissolve the yeast in the sugar and let stand 5 minutes. Add the warm milk, flour, salt, and oil. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- 2
Divide the dough into 40 equal balls. Cover with a clean cloth and rest for 10 minutes.
- 3
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef with garlic and onion until well browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Remove from heat and fold in the chopped parsley and diced seeded tomatoes. Let the filling cool completely before using.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (355 °F). Flatten each ball into a small disc, place a tablespoon of filling in the center, and pinch the three edges together to form a closed triangle.
- 6
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg yolk.
- 7
Bake 20–25 minutes until deep golden brown. Serve warm.
💡 Chef's Tip
The filling can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge — it only gets better overnight. Swap half the oil for melted butter for an even softer, richer dough.
