Steps:
- Saute beef, onion and garlic, salt and lemon pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat, until beef is browned. Add cabbage, Worcestershire sauce and caraway seeds. Cook until cabbage is limp; drain liquid from mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- On a lightly floured board, roll each loaf of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Spoon cabbage/beef filling onto center of each dough piece, dividing equally. Pull three points of each wedge up to the center and pinch to seal. Place bierocks on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water).
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot, or wrap and freeze for heating later.

BIEROCKS (GERMAN HAMBURGER- AND CABBAGE-FILLED ROLLS)
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.

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.

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.
