1 teaspoon active dry yeast<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons sugar, divided<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3\/4 cup warm water (110\u00c2\u00b0 to 115\u00c2\u00b0), divided<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons butter, softened<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 egg, lightly beaten<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 cups all-purpose flour<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

FILLING:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons taco seasoning<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 egg, lightly beaten<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup sliced ripe olives<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1\/2 cup water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the butter, milk powder, egg, salt, remaining sugar and water and 1-1\/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to greased top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>In a large skillet, cook beef and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Set aside 1 tablespoon beaten egg. Stir remaining egg into beef mixture. Cool completely. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Place on a greased baking sheet. Spread filling lengthwise down center third of rectangle. Sprinkle with cheese and olives. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips about 2-1\/2 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Brush with reserved egg. Bake at 350\u00c2\u00b0 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 12-16 servings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You can use 1 1\/2 cans of crescent rolls instead of making your own dough.\u00c2\u00a0 Lay the three blocks of dough next to each other and pinch up all the perforations to make a single sheet of dough.<\/span><\/p>\n
