Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

  • 2 cups milk, lukewarm

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • ½ medium head cabbage, chopped

  • 18 slices American cheese

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. To Make Dough: In a large bowl, mix together milk and oil. Stir in eggs, yeast, sugar, salt and 5 cups of flour. Mix well adding remaining cup of flour as necessary to form kneadable dough. Knead for a few minutes, then cover bowl and let dough rise one hour in a warm place.

  3. To Make Filling: Brown beef in a large saucepan; do not drain juices. Add onion and cabbage to skillet and continue cooking until onion is soft; add salt and pepper to taste. Let cool.

  4. After dough has risen, roll out hunks of dough (about the size of tennis balls) as thin as possible. Place 1/2 slice of cheese on dough, top with filling, then place other 1/2 of cheese on top of filling. Fold over and seal like a turnover (moistening edges with water may help seal them). Place on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  5. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately or cool and freeze for later. To reheat frozen bierrocks simply bake until hot.
