Cheesy Beef Bread

In a deep bowl, mix the lukewarm water, honey, and yeast. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Add the olive oil, flour, and salt. Knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm spot or until it doubles in size.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt, cayenne powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, and red bell pepper powder. Cook for 4-5 minutes.

Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes. Let the meat mixture cool completely.

Deflate the dough and divide it into 2 equal portions. Shape them into balls.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out both dough balls into circles.

Place one dough circle on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Layer with slices of young cheese and spread the meat mixture evenly on top. Place the second dough circle over it and press the edges firmly to seal.

Brush the dough with beaten egg. Score a crisscross pattern into the top without cutting all the way through. Place strips of cheese into the cuts.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12-18 minutes until golden brown.
