Tips:

  • To make the dough, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 110°F). Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To make the filling, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the sauerkraut, cabbage, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is softened.
  • To assemble the bier rocks, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough out into a 6-inch circle. Place a heaping spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold up the edges of the dough to enclose the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Place the bier rocks on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake the bier rocks in a preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the bier rocks warm with mustard or ketchup.
