Pam’s Bierocks
Bierocks are a German delicacy consisting of sweet dinner rolls filled with a mixture of ground beef, onions, and cabbage. They provide a fantastic alternative to the Finnish pasty!
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
Dough
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 7 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup margarine, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
Filling
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Grease a medium bowl and baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare dough: Stir together warm water and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1/2 of the flour, sugar, margarine, egg, and salt to yeast mixture. Beat until smooth; add remaining flour and mix by hand until dough pulls together. Place into the prepared medium bowl; cover with foil. Refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight, or let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
- While dough rises, make filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cabbage, onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool until lukewarm.
- Punch down dough and divide into 20 equal pieces. Flatten and spread each piece of dough out on an unfloured surface; fill with about 2 tablespoons filling. Fold dough over and seal edges. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter and serve warm.
