Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Thaw bread dough. Combine ground round and next 9 ingredients in a large skillet; stir well. Cool over medium heat 10 minutes of until meat is browned, stirring crumble meat. Add 3/4 cup tomato sauce, sugar, and salt; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; let mixture cool slightly. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Working with 1 portion a t a tim (cover remaining portions to keep dough from drying out), roll each portion to 1/8-inch thickness. Place on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and pat each portion into a 6-inch circle with floured fingertips. Spoon 1/3 cup meat mixture onto half of each circle; moisten edges of doug with water. Fold dough over filling; press edges together with a fork to seal. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Bake at 375xF for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven, and lightly coat again with cooking spray. Serve warm.
