Instructions

1- Thaw the Dough:

• Arrange the frozen dinner rolls on a large plate, ensuring they do not touch.
• Spray a light coating of avocado cooking spray over the rolls.
• Cover with plastic wrap, followed by a kitchen towel, and let them thaw for about 2 hours, or until they double in size.

2- Prepare the Meat Filling:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely diced onion, tomato, minced garlic, parsley, salt, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, pomegranate molasses, and tomato paste.
• Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Set the filling aside.

3- Preheat and Assemble Pies:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Roll out each thawed dough piece into an oval shape.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the meat filling onto the center of each rolled dough and spread evenly.
• Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch or twist the ends to form a boat shape.

4- Egg Wash and Bake:

• Lightly beat the egg and brush it over the outer dough of each pie.
• Place the assembled pies onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

5- Serve and Enjoy:
