Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling
   Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
   Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
   Stir in salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, chili flakes (if using), and tomato paste. Cook until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
   Remove from heat, mix in shredded cheese and parsley. Let it cool completely.

2. Assemble the Roll
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   Roll out the puff pastry sheet on parchment paper. Spread the beef mixture evenly across the surface, leaving a 1-inch edge on all sides.
   Gently roll the pastry like a jelly roll from one end to the other. Seal the edge by pinching slightly or brushing with beaten egg.
   Transfer to a baking tray, seam side down. Brush the entire roll with egg wash and sprinkle more shredded cheese on top.

3. Bake to Perfection
   Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
   Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
