*This lovely dough is just stuffed with air*
When we were in Kansas last week I was introduced to a very basic, homey meal that the kids just loved. They are sandwich's called Bierocks. It is a homemade sweet bread stuffed with a mixture of seasoned hamburger, onion, cabbage, cheese and a touch of mustard. So simple, so freezable, so perfect to pull out for a quick dinner on cold hectic nights. Just serve it with a cup of soup or a salad and you are all set!
My angst came from properly executing this amazing bread recipe..kneading, letting rise, punching down then shaping, stuffing and letting rise again. I guess I was truly getting lost in the details, since I did them repetitively in my sleep. Loss of sleep or no, a stuffed sandwich recipe well worth doing!
Filling
1 1/2 -2 lb hamburger, browned
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp Onion flakes (I diced an onion)
Dash of pepper & Celery salt
Big squeeze mustard ~1/4 cup
Dough
4 1/2 C flour
1/8 C. Nonfat dry milk
1/8 C. Instant potatoes
1 Tbsp. Salt
1/3 C. Sugar
1/8 C. Yeast
Mix dry ingredients, add 1/3 cup melted butter and 1/2 Quart (2 Cups) water. Mix until wet ball forms. Add 1/4 cup more flour and knead until smooth. Let rise. Punch down, and then roll out 1/4" thick and cut squares. Place 1 ice cream scoop of filling in center of square. Fold square together and pinch seam, and allow to rise again. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Makes 30-36. They freeze great and just need to be re-heated in the oven!

ReplyDeleteStuffed bread sandwiches!
So funny, my 'stuffed' post was about needing to get out from inside my head ~ similar wavelengths ... your ending was far more delectable than mine though.
ReplyDeleteLike Joanie, I'm going to try this recipe. And 4timesblessed - WELCOME!! I thought your submission was brilliant.
Sounds delicious! I think I have a similar one from years ago but it uses Bisquick (for shortcut cooks like me!) And yes, I do have nights like that. ugh!
