the ground beef/cabbage filling may be made a day in advance, my family likes spicy so I add in cayenne pepper or dried chili flakes to the ground beef mixture, also you could add in some crumbled bacon pieces too, cooking time is for the buns only -. Ingredients:
3 (1 lb) frozen bread dough, thawed |
5 lbs lean ground beef |
1/4 cup water or 1/4 cup beef broth |
1 large head green cabbage, chopped into pieces |
2 onions, finely chopped (or use 1 large onion) |
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic |
1/2-1 cup grated parmesan cheese (or to taste) |
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste) or 2 teaspoons white salt (or to taste) |
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper |
melted butter |
Directions:
1. Divide each loaf of the frozen bread dough into 6 even pieces (you will have 18 pieces).
2. Roll each piece into balls; cover with a clean tea towel and set aside.
3. Crumble the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat; cook stirring until no longer pink; drain all fat.
4. Add in water or beef broth, cabbage, onion and garlic.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until the cabbage is soft.
6. Drain all liquid very well (important the you must drain very well!).
7. Mix in the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (add 1/2 cup to start, adding in more later to taste if needed) seasoned salt, startind with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and add in more to taste and lots black pepper; stir to combine well; set aside.
8. On a lightly-floured board roll each piece of dough into 5-inch squares (does not have to measure exactly).
9. Place about 3/4 cup of the cabbage mixture into the center of each square.
10. Fold the dough over and pinch to seal.
11. Place onto a greased baking sheet seam-side down.
12. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
13. Remove and brush each with melted butter.
14. Serve hot or warm.
