1. Simmer viand in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add cornstarch mixture while stirring until mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
2. To make dough, combine dough ingredients in a mixer and knead for 8-12 minutes until the dough is developed. Dough surface should be smooth and free from any lumps.

4. Coat with breadcrumbs and place dough on the baking sheet and let stand again until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 200°F. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
