Ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/2 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons chopped tomato
3 tablespoons golden raisins
3 large pimiento-stuffed olives, finely chopped
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 11-ounce tube refrigerated French bread dough
1 large egg
Directions
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic and cinnamon and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the beef, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chopped tomato, raisins and olives and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and brush a baking sheet lightly with vegetable oil. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and fill the dinner pockets. Step-by-step directions.
Place the pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush the pockets with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
