How to Make Bierochs
- **Make the Filling:**
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and 1 cup shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Set aside to cool.
- **Make the Pastry:**
- In a large bowl, combine 5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast.
- Add 1 cup lukewarm milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs.
- Stir until a stiff dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Punch down the dough and knead briefly on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 6-inch circle.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the beef filling in the center of each circle.
- Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
