Ingredients

12 Servings
  • 7 g active dry yeast
  • 500 g all-purpose flour
  • 60 g butter
  • 500 g cabbage
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 240 ml milk
  • 1 onion
  • 2 g pepper
  • 5 g salt
  • 5 g salt
  • 50 g sugar
  • 120 ml water

Directions

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, and sugar.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat milk, water, and butter until warm (120-130°F).
Step 3
Add the warm liquid to the flour mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Step 4
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Step 5
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat.
Step 6
Add cabbage, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 7
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a 5-inch circle.
Step 8
Place 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center of each circle. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal.
Step 9
Place on greased baking sheets, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Step 10
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
