Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
- Season the cooked beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool completely.

Assembly
- Flatten each piece of dough into a 10 cm circle. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the cooled beef and cheese mixture in the center of each round.
- Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.
- Position the filled dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing evenly.
- Combine melted butter and minced garlic, then generously brush over the tops. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
- As soon as they are removed from the oven, brush with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
