Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

DOUGH INGREDIENTS
4 1/2 c all purpose flour, divided
1/4 c sugar
2 pkg (0.25) active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
3/4 c milk, 1% or 2%
1/2 c butter flavored crisco
2 eggs
FILLING INGREDIENTS
1 lb lean ground beef (i use 93/7 or 95/5 so i don't have to drain it)
2 small yellow onions, chopped
4 c chopped cabbage
1 tsp course salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 tsp pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 1/4 c shredded mild cheese, ( or any cheese of your choosing), optional

Steps:

  • 1. Method: In a large mixing bowl, place 1 3/4 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat milk, water, and shortening to 120F - 130F. (I heated the mixture in a saucepan on the stove and used a candy thermometer to check the temperature.) Pour over flour mixture; add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low until blended. Beat an additional 3 minutes on high. Stir in the remaining flour (2 3/4 cups); knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 6 - 8 minutes). Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour.)
  • 2. Meanwhile, brown beef and onions in skillet. Add cabbage, salt, and pepper; cook until cabbage is wilted and starting to become translucent. Continue seasoning filling with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3. Punch dough down. Divide into 10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a square on a lightly floured surface. Top each square with 1/3 cup meat mixture and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Fold dough over the filling, crimp edges tightly to seal, and place on greased baking sheets. (I used a pizza stone; you could also line your baking sheets with parchment [but NOT wax paper].) Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot

The runzas were a little too greasy for my taste, but they were still good.
