Tips

  • If you don't have time to make the dough from scratch, you can use store-bought pizza dough or bread dough. You can also use a bread maker to make the dough.
  • Be sure to let the dough rise for the full amount of time specified in the recipe. This will help to ensure that the dough is light and fluffy.
  • When filling the Runzas, be sure to leave a little space around the edges so that the filling doesn't spill out.
  • You can use any type of filling that you like. Some popular options include ground beef, cabbage, onions, and cheese. You can also add other ingredients, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery.
  • Be sure to pinch the edges of the Runzas together tightly so that they don't come apart during baking.
  • Bake the Runzas until they are golden brown and the filling is cooked through. This will usually take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve the Runzas hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
