Number Of Ingredients 14

DOUGH:
1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (110° to 115°)
3 tablespoons sugar

2 to 2-1/4 cups bread flour

1 pound ground beef
1-1/2 cups chopped cabbage
1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool. , Punch dough down and divide into 12 pieces. Gently roll out each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each with about 1/4 cup filling. Fold dough over filling to meet in the center; pinch edges to seal. , Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
