Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper
1 small head cabbage, chopped

BIEROCKS (GERMAN HAMBURGER- AND CABBAGE-FILLED ROLLS)



Bierocks (German Hamburger- and Cabbage-filled rolls) image

This is a staple food in the small Kansas (primarily German-American) town where I was born, and is now a favorite at my house here in Belgium. The recipe comes from my Grandma Rosie. My mother uses a BOX OF HOT ROLL MIX for the roll portion, but as that is not available to me, I have included the hot roll recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook book. Your yield will depend on the size of rolls you make, but I would estimate about 15 to 20. Preparation time includes time for allowing dough to rise (estimated). Don't let the length of the recipe (or my assembly instructions) spook you, it is really very easy and the assembly is fun for kids, too ! In my opinion they are just as tasty cold as warm from the oven.

Time 2h30m

Yield 15 Bierocks

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups cabbage, cut fine
1/2 cup onion, cut fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb hamburger
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper (optional)
4 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • FILLING: In a large frying pan, cook the cabbage and onion together until the cabbage is completely softened and golden.
  • This process can be hastened by adding a half-cup of water (or so) and covering the pan, but eventually cook all the liquid off before proceeding.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
  • In a separate pan, brown the hamburger.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
  • Mix the cabbage/onion with the hamburger thoroughly.
  • You may complete this part of the recipe in advance,refrigerating until needed, or just before you are ready to assemble the rolls.
  • DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
  • In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, butter and salt just till warm (115-120 degrees F) and butter is almost melted; stir constantly.
  • Ad to flour mixture; add eggs.
  • Beat at low speed for 1/2 minute, then three minutes at high speed.
  • Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).
  • Shape into a ball, and place in a greased bowl; turn once.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 hour).
  • Punch down and cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  • ASSEMBLY: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, and a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  • Cut into squares of 3 inches by 3 or 4 inches by 4.
  • By the spoonful, place some filling mixture into the center of each square, apportioning all of the mixture among the squares.
  • For each, bring the two opposite corner ends of the dough square up to meet one another, then do the same with remaining ends and pinch them (all 4) together with your fingers.
  • You will see that you now have open slits along the diagnals; pinch these together as well, making a seam of each.
  • Water on your fingertips will facilitate them staying"glued" together.
  • The end product should be a square with a seam running from each corner to the center where all four are joined.
  • Set the squares on a baking sheet (if you had trouble keeping the seams closed, you can flip them over so that the seams are against the baking sheet, thereby keeping all the filling in place and making a nicer presentation).
  • Let raise 30 minutes.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 °F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

2 cups shredded cabbage or packaged cole slaw mix
2 tablespoons dill pickle juice

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, flour, sugar, and salt and whisk.
  • In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, add the milk, water, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until combined and pour it into the flour mixture. Stir with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until you have a rough dough.
  • Mix the dough with the dough hook on medium speed for 5 to 6 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

  • While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes more. Add the Worchestershire sauce, dill, caraway seeds, paprika, and cabbage and cook, stirring regularly, for about 8 minutes.

  • Turn off the heat and let the pan cool. Once it's cooled, stir in the cheese.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a half sheet pan or large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and form the pieces into balls.
  • Press ball into a six inch round. Place a generous 1/3 cup of the filling in the middle and gather the edges of the dough together and press to seal. Place the filled dough, seam side down, on the parchment lined baking sheet and press down to flatten slightly.
  • Bake the bierocks for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Brush with melted butter while still warm.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • If you don't have any ground beef, you can use ground pork, chicken, or turkey instead.
  • Add some chopped onion and garlic to the meat mixture for extra flavor.
  • Season the meat mixture with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the bierrocks. This will give them plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Bring the water or broth to a boil before adding the bierrocks. This will help prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the bierrocks for at least 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
  • Serve the bierrocks hot, with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Bierrocks are a delicious and hearty meal that are perfect for a cold winter day. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
