Pastry baked with a savory beef, onion, and cabbage filling. This is a recipe from my friend's aunt. She served it during Oktoberfest. Ingredients:
2 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed |
1 pound ground beef |
1 onion, chopped |
1 clove garlic, crushed |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper |
1 small head cabbage, chopped |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
2 teaspoons caraway seeds |
1/2 cup melted butter |
Directions:
1. Saute beef, onion and garlic, salt and lemon pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat, until beef is browned. Add cabbage, Worcestershire sauce and caraway seeds. Cook until cabbage is limp; drain liquid from mixture.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. On a lightly floured board, roll each loaf of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Spoon cabbage/beef filling onto center of each dough piece, dividing equally. Pull three points of each wedge up to the center and pinch to seal. Place bierocks on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water).
4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot, or wrap and freeze for heating later.
