When I moved to Nebraska, I discovered many ethnic foods that I had never heard of before. A friend introduced me to this German-Russian beef sandwich, and it quickly became a family favorite. Ingredients:
4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup milk |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 eggs |
filling: |
2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
2 medium onions, chopped |
4 cups chopped cabbage |
2 teaspoons seasoned salt |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place 1-3/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Heat the milk, water and shortening to 120°-130°. Pour over flour mixture; add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat 3 additional minutes on high. Stir in the remaining flour; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the cabbage, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper; cook until cabbage is wilted.
4. Punch dough down; divide into 12 portions and cover with plastic wrap. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a 6-in. square. Place 3/4 cup meat mixture in the center of each square. Fold dough over filling, forming a rectangle. Pinch edges tightly to seal and place on greased baking sheets.
5. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot. Yield: 12 servings.
