Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine milk, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Mix the Dough Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, egg, butter, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture, stirring until combined.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Allow the Dough to Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into 16 pieces, and roll into balls.
  6. Create the Roll Stack: Stack two flattened pieces, roll out together, and coat with semolina flour.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Cook the Rolls: Preheat skillet, add melted butter, and cook rolls for 3–4 minutes each side.
  9. Prepare the Filling: In another skillet, heat butter and oil, add steak, onion, and bell pepper until beef is cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  10. Assemble the Pan Bread With Beef: Slice each roll and fill with the beef and cheese mixture. Serve warm.
