My mother made these for us growing up, and now my kids like me to make these easy to eat and handle "hamburgers." These are easy to freeze and reheat. The best dough mix to use is the Pillsbury Hot Roll mix that comes in a blue box.

BEST BIEROCK RECIPE EVER



Best Bierock Recipe Ever image

This recipe comes from a childhood memory. My mom was no Julia Childs, let me tell you, more like Bridget Jones. But when she made bierocks, they were good. I tried a lot of bierock recipes, but most of them called for frozen dough (yuck!). I use a bread machine, but that is not necessary. Mom's were good, mine are great!

Time 2h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small onion, chopped
2 ½ pounds ground chuck
2 teaspoons monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'cent®)
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 head cabbage, shredded
3 ¼ cups bread flour
1 ¼ cups milk, slightly warmed
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ¼ teaspoons bread machine yeast
¾ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cook and stir onion in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground chuck; cook and stir until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain well. Season with monosodium glutamate, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring often, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a lightly salted pot of water to a boil. Add cabbage; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until cabbage is just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Fold into the ground chuck mixture.
  • Place bread flour, milk, all-purpose flour, egg, sugar, butter, bread machine yeast, and salt in the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Run "Dough" cycle.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Cut in half; roll each piece of dough to 1/3-inch thickness. Cut each piece into 5 smaller pieces.
  • Place a large spoonful of ground chuck-cabbage mixture in the center of each piece of dough. Fold dough over and seal around filling.
  • Arrange bierocks on greased baking sheets. Cover with a clean dish towel and place in a warm, dry place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake bierocks in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools prepped and ready to go. It's much easier to cook when you're not running around looking for things.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your Beirox will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the Dough Rise: After you've mixed the dough, let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour. This will help it to develop flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Beirox: Beirox are best when they're cooked through but still slightly soft in the center. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve Immediately: Beirox are best served immediately after they're cooked. If you need to store them, you can do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Beirox is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic Beirox or something more adventurous, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Beirox a try.
