INGREDIENTS:
For the Dough:
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 ounces butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 1/4 cups flour (and ¼ to ½ cup more for kneading)
- 1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
For the Corned Beef Filling:
- 1 can (12 ounces) corned beef
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Diced potatoes (optional)
HOW TO MAKE:
For the Corned Beef Filling:
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook until softened (add diced potatoes if you like).
- Add- in the corned beef and cook, breaking apart to pieces, for about 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from pan and allow to completely cool. Set aside.
For the Dough:
- In a bowl of your stand mixer, combine water, and yeast. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes until it becomes bubbly. Stir well.
- In a small bowl, combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Stir together until incorporated.
- Add the milk mixture and 2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. With the dough hook attachment, mix everything together on medium speed until incorporated.
- Gradually add the remaining 2-1/4 cup flour in ½ cup increments and continue to combine all ingredients.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn over the dough and knead, lightly adding flour as necessary, for about 10 minutes or until smooth, supple and elastic.
- In a lightly oiled large bowl, place the dough. Cover with plastic film and allow to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size.
- Transfer dough to a lightly-floured surface. Divide into 24 pieces and flatten each portion with the palm of your hands to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the corned beef in the center of the dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the ends while twisting it slightly to seal.
- Roll each ball of dough in breadcrumbs and arrange them 1-inch apart on a lightly-greased baking sheet with the seams side down.
- Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size.
- Bake in a 350 F or 175 C oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy!
