The pinch seams closed and place on prepared baking sheet, seams down. Bake at 375 for 15-20 min. until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with milk to soften crust.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage cook evenly and will prevent it from becoming tough.
Do not overcook the cabbage. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy and will lose its flavor.
Be careful not to burn the butter or oil when cooking the cabbage. Burnt butter or oil will give the cabbage a bitter taste.
Season the cabbage to taste. Salt, pepper, and caraway seeds are all good options.
Serve the cabbage immediately. Kraut kuchen is best when served fresh.
