Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine Warm Water, Yeast, Sugar, and Salt. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add Flour and Vegetable Oil to the yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms (about 5-7 minutes).
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the Filling. In a large skillet, brown Ground Beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add Cabbage and Onion to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the cabbage is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
Stir in Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Place a generous spoonful of Filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Place the Bierocks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
