In a large bowl, combine Whole Milk, Yeast, Honey, and Salt. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Add Bread Flour and knead until a shaggy dough forms. Incorporate cold, cubed Butter and continue kneading for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 24-48 hours for a slow fermentation.
While the dough chills, prepare the Filling. In a large skillet, brown Grass-Fed Ground Beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add Shallot and Garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until softened (about 3 minutes).
Add Savoy Cabbage and cook until wilted and tender (about 8-10 minutes).
Deglaze the pan with Dry Sherry, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon Mustard, Caraway Seeds, Smoked Paprika, Salt, and Pepper. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 6 equal pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into a circle about 7 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. Crimp the edges to seal tightly.
Place the Bierocks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Whisk together Egg and Milk for the Egg Wash. Brush the tops of the Bierocks with the Egg Wash.
Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
