BIEROCKS - OLD FASHIONED VOLGA GERMAN HAMBURGERS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Bierocks - Old Fashioned Volga German Hamburgers Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by tjberens

Number Of Ingredients 23

SWEET DOUGH:
2 cups warm water
2 (.25-ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
8 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
FILLING:
1 pound ground beef
1 pound German sausage-casings removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 head cabbage, shredded (not diced or chopped!)
1 cup water
1/2 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Mix in milk, sugar, margarine, eggs, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 of the flour. Beat until smooth; add shortening and remaining flour until dough pulls together. Place in oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Filling: In a large skillet, brown hamburger and sausage together. Drain, saving drippings in the skillet, and set aside. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute onion, garlic, salt, lemon pepper, and mustard for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cup of water, cabbage, and meat mixture. Simmer 30 minutes. Drain any excess fluid. Cool until lukewarm-about the same time it takes the dough to rise. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Punch down dough and divide (20 pieces for appetizers; 10 pieces for entrees). Roll each piece of dough into a 1/8-1/4-inch thick square on a lightly floured surface and add filling (2 to 3 tablespoons for appetizers; 4 to 5 tablespoons for entrees). Fold corners to the center and pinch to seal edges. Place on prepared cookie sheet with pinched edges down. Let rise for 1 hour. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water). Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with butter (if not already done) and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the burgers will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Season the beef well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Don't overwork the beef. Overworking the beef will make it tough. Mix the beef just until it is combined.
  • Form the burgers into patties. The patties should be about 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry out. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the burgers for doneness. The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

German burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your German burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
