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.
