Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly for the filling.

Directions for Cheeseburger Bombs:
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, salt, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Gradually add warm milk while mixing to form a dough. Knead in the room temperature butter until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the roasted beef and hamburger sauce as outlined above. Slice the roasted beef thinly. Prepare other filling ingredients: chop tomatoes, slice pickles, and grate cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a disk. Place a slice of roasted beef, a spoonful of hamburger sauce, chopped tomatoes, a slice of pickle, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese in the center of each disk. Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling, pinching to seal tightly.
Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs: Place the assembled cheeseburger bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the bombs with a bit of melted butter, if desired, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with extra hamburger sauce on the side for dipping!
Tips for Success:
Even Sealing: Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the filling to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
Custom Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients like sautéed onions, jalapeños, or bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
Freezing Option: These cheeseburger bombs can be frozen after baking. Simply reheat them in the oven before serving.
