Empanadas

Ingredients:
Dough:
6 cups Shirley J Honey Wheat Bread
2 ¼ cups warm water
2 TB dry active yeast

Filling:
1 Lbs. lean hamburger
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup yellow onion, diced
½ cup green chilies, diced
3 medium potatoes, diced and cooked
4 cups oil for frying, add more if needed
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Filling:
Cook the hamburger, onions, and garlic until the hamburger is fully cooked. Drain the grease and put it back on the heat, add the green chilies, potatoes, salt and pepper.
Set it aside until the dough is made.
Dough:
Dissolve yeast in the water and add it to the bread mix. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If you use an electric mixer, mix on medium for about 10-12 minutes. Let it rest with a damp towel over it for about 20 minutes. In small batches roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles or squares double the desired size. Put the filling on half of the dough and fold over and press a fork along the edges to seal. If the dough is too thin to seal right, don’t roll it out so thin. Fry in the oil on medium heat until golden brown on each side. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
