Ingredients You Need for Pioneer Woman Bierocks Recipe

For the Dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 large egg

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.

2. Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter, egg and yeast mixture. Stir until dough forms. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. Let Dough Rise

Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with clean towel. Let it rise in warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

4. Prepare the Filling

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until soft. Add ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked.

5. Add Cabbage

Stir chopped cabbage into cooked beef. Add salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until cabbage softens. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

6. Shape the Bierocks

Punch down risen dough. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into circle. Place 2 tablespoons filling in center of each circle.

7. Seal the Rolls

Fold edges over filling. Pinch seams tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on lined baking sheet. Leave space between each roll.

8. Second Rise

Cover shaped rolls with towel. Let them rise again for 20 minutes. This makes them soft and fluffy after baking.

9. Bake the Bierocks

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Do not use hot milk for yeast. It can kill yeast.
• Let filling cool before placing in dough.
• Seal edges tightly to prevent leaks.
• Brush tops with melted butter for shine.
• Do not overfill rolls.
• Store extra filling for later use.
