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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.

Step 2

Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F) and stir in the melted butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each dough circle and top with a generous pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the bierrocks with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Bierrocks with Cheese!
