Meat–based Bakery Products 

Meat-based bakery products are baked goods that incorporate meat as a primary ingredient. These products range from savoury pies and pastries to bread with added meat or meat fillings. Here is a general formulation for a meat-based bakery product: 

Ingredients: 

• 500g bread flour 
• 10g salt 
• 10g sugar
• 10g instant yeast 
• 300ml warm water 
• 100g cooked and chopped meat (such as beef, chicken, or pork) 
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) 
• 1 egg, beaten 
• 50g grated cheese (optional)

Instructions: 

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). 

• Combine the bread flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl. 
• Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. 
• Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. 
• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the cooked and chopped meat and fresh herbs. 

• Shape the dough into the desired shape (such as a loaf, bun, or roll) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
• Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese (if using). 
• Bake the meat-based bakery product in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. 

The above is one example of a meat-based bakery product formulation, and there are many variations and options depending on the specific product being made. Therefore it is important to follow proper food safety protocols when handling meat and to ensure that it is cooked to the appropriate temperature to avoid foodborne illness.
