How to Make Bierrocks With Cheese

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup lukewarm milk and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
2. Add 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 5 cups all-purpose flour.
3. Mix well, gradually adding more flour (up to 1 more cup) until a soft, kneadable dough forms.
4. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Meanwhile, brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cups shredded cabbage. Cook until the onion is softened and the cabbage is slightly wilted (about 5-7 minutes).
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
10. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
11. Cut out circles using a 4-inch cookie cutter or a knife.
12. Place 1/2 slice (about 1 ounce) of your favorite cheese on one half of each circle. Top with 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and cabbage mixture. Place the other 1/2 slice of cheese on top.
13. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal.
14. Place the Bierrocks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water (egg wash) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
15. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
16. Serve immediately. To freeze, cool completely, then place on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag for long-term storage. To reheat from frozen, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until heated through.
