Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 medium Onion
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, and dry yeast.
Step 2
Heat the milk until warm but not hot (approximately 110°F). Add warm milk, melted butter, and a beaten egg to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining 0.5 cup of flour a little at a time until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Finely chop the cabbage and onion.
Step 6
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and drain any excess grease.
Step 7
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the cabbage, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cooking until the cabbage is tender (about 10 minutes). Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 9
Roll out each piece of dough on a floured surface into a circle about 6-7 inches wide.
Step 10
Place a heaping spoonful of the beef and cabbage mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Step 11
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal completely. Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Step 12
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow the assembled bierocks to rest for 15 minutes to slightly rise again.
Step 13
Bake the bierocks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 14
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
