Ingredients

• • All-purpose flour: 4 cups
• • Active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
• • Warm water: 1 1/4 cups
• • Unsalted butter (melted): 4 tablespoons
• • Sugar: 2 tablespoons
• • Salt: 1 teaspoon
• • Baking soda: 1/2 cup
• • Water (for boiling): 10 cups
• • Egg yolk (beaten): 1
• • Coarse salt (for topping): to taste
• • Ground beef: 1 pound
• • Bacon (cooked and crumbled): 8 slices
• • Cheddar cheese (shredded): 1 1/2 cups
• • Yellow onion (finely chopped): 1 medium
• • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
• • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in the melted butter and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. 3 Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
4. 4 While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
5. 5 Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disk. Place a generous spoonful of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each disk. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal and form a ball.
6. 6 In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully. Boil each stuffed dough ball for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
7. 7 Brush each roll with the beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
8. 8 Serve these decadent rolls warm as a snack or main dish. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy surprise inside each bite!
