Season the Meat: Add paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh coriander. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, fresh green coriander, dried parsley, and Aleppo pepper. Mix well.
Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 10-12). Roll each piece into a circle (about 5-6 inches in diameter).
Add Fillings: Place a spoonful of the meat filling and a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Egg Wash: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top.
Step 4: Bake the Rolls
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooking Tips
Customize the Filling: Feel free to adjust the spices and herbs based on your preferences. Adding chopped bell peppers or spinach can enhance the flavor and nutrition.
Check the Dough: The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky. Adjust the flour as needed while kneading.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before assembling the rolls.

Storage
Room Temperature: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the oven to restore their texture.
Freezing: These rolls can be frozen before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
