For the Paprika Sauce:

- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating Paprika Hackbrötchen:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are measured and ready for use. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to get it ready for baking the Brötchen later.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and aromatic. Add the diced red bell pepper and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and flavorful.
Step 3: Cook the Ground Meat
Add the ground meat to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika, allowing the flavors to meld. Cook the meat until it’s browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Prepare the Paprika Sauce
In a separate bowl, mix the tomato paste, beef or vegetable broth, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the flour to create a smooth consistency. Pour the sauce over the cooked meat mixture, stirring well. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, creating a rich and flavorful base for the Paprika Hackbrötchen.
Step 5: Hollow Out the Brötchen
