Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm milk (about 110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups Green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon Water, for egg wash
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F) and stir in the melted butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
Crack in the egg and stir until the dough begins to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, make the filling. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the chopped onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch circle on a floured surface.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each dough circle and top with a generous pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the bierrocks with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Bierrocks with Cheese!
