Ingredients for Bierochs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • Butter

How to Make Bierochs

  1. **Make the Filling:**
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 large chopped onion and 1 cup shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.
  5. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Set aside to cool.
  6. **Make the Pastry:**
  7. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast.
  8. Add 1 cup lukewarm milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs.
  9. Stir until a stiff dough forms.
  10. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  11. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  12. Punch down the dough and knead briefly on a lightly floured surface.
  13. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  14. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 6-inch circle.
  15. Place about 1/4 cup of the beef filling in the center of each circle.
  16. Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  17. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
