Ingredients
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • warm water (110°F/45°C): 1 cup
- • granulated sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • all-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • ground beef: 1/2 pound
- • ground pork: 1/2 pound
- • Italian sausage, casing removed: 1/2 pound
- • medium onion, finely chopped: 1
- • cloves of garlic, minced: 3
- • sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 2 cups
- • red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon
- • dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • egg, beaten (for egg wash): 1
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in the flour, salt, and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- 3 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 4 While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, pork, and sausage. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Stir in the red pepper flakes, oregano, and black pepper.
- 5 Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
- 6 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rectangle, about 12 inches in length.
- 7 Spoon the meat filling evenly along one edge of each rectangle, then roll the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
- 8 Shape each filled dough into a ring, pinching the ends together to close. Place each ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 9 Brush the tops of the rings with the beaten egg to ensure a glossy finish once baked.
- 10 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread rings are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory meat-lover's stuffed bread rings are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them with a few simple accompaniments. A fresh side salad with a tangy vinaigrette will complement the rich flavors of the filling, adding a refreshing contrast to the meal. For a dipping option, consider a warm marinara sauce or a creamy ranch dressing, enhancing the flavor profile with each bite. For beverages, a robust red wine like a Zinfandel or a cold, crisp lager pairs beautifully with the hearty meat and cheese filling. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water infused with citrus or a classic cola can provide a refreshing balance.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, allow the bread rings to cool completely before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rings on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and crisp on the outside. For longer storage, you can freeze the bread rings. Wrap each individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and follow the reheating instructions.
