Ma'S Speckrouches(Meat And Onion Filled Rolls)
Ma'S Speckrouches are savory meat and onion-filled rolls with a crispy exterior, perfect as a snack or hearty appetizer for gatherings and family meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute chopped onion and chopped ham in margarine.
- Take a small amount of bread dough and pull very thin into a 3-inch circle.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the filling on one half of the dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a turnover.
- Pinch the edges together to seal.
- Let the filled rolls stand for 10 minutes.
- Place the rolls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, try adding herbs like thyme or parsley to the filling. If you don't have ham, cooked bacon or sausage can be great substitutes. Ensure the dough is rolled out thinly to achieve a nice crispy texture. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for a few minutes before continuing. For a richer flavor, use Ma'S 'Goose Grease' instead of margarine.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls make a delightful appetizer or snack and pair well with a simple salad or homemade soup. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside Grandma Lydia'S German Potato Salad. They are also excellent as a party finger food, providing a savory contrast to sweet dishes like Peas For Large Family.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to maintain their crispiness. For a quicker option, use a microwave, but be aware that this might make the dough a bit soggy.
