- Roll out each piece of dough into a 10 cm circle. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each round. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and form a ball.
- Position the filled dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
- Mix the melted butter with minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the tops of the dough balls, followed by a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

- Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
