Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 4 cups Green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough.
Slowly add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading until a smooth and elastic dough forms (about 8-10 minutes).
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and cabbage filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a seam. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for an additional 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy!
