Beef Pasties

 

1 loaf white frozen bread dough (thawed)
1 lb ground beef
1 potato (peeled and chopped)
1 carrot (peeled and chopped)
1 medium onion, chopped
1⁄2 cup celery, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄8 teaspoon pepper

  • Let dough rise until doubled in size.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in large skillet. Cook 20 minutes. Cool to lukewarm.
  • Divide dough into 6 pieces; roll out and stretch each piece on a floured surface to an 8" circle.
  • Top each circle with about 2/3 cup of the filling. Mositen edges; fold in half and seal well.
  • With scissors, snip a short gash on top of each circle to allow steam to escape.
  • Place pasties on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 325 degrees fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
