Leftovers Buns

So I made Ragu this week, and I made a lot as usual. I don’t know, it’s always nice to have leftover Ragu! It is such a great dish.

After a few days I still had some in a box which I kept in the fridge, and decided to make a dough that would hug the Ragu inside.

I’m telling you, now when you know this recipe- you will start to fill up your dough with so many good stuff.

Ingredients:
