I know I make these often, they're one of my favorites.

the dough..
1 1/4 cups of warm water
1 pkg of yeast
2 TBs oil
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups of flour (more if needed)
I dissolve the yeast in water, add the sugar, oil and then the salt.. stir in 2 cups of flour and add enough of the remaining flour to make the dough come together. Knead 5 minutes, cover and rest for 1 hour.

These are handy to bag and freeze for quick meals.


Thanks for looking!

Look great, are they on the dry side internally?
Another for the bucket list

Thanks Titch! They stay pretty moist. I drain any oil from the filling before using but they aren't dry at all. Hope you have great luck with them. :thumb:
 
Those look great!

My gramma, mom, and I make a similar dish, but we use sauerkraut instead of cabbage and a pile of black pepper.

Yours look larger, meatier, and delicouser.

Thanks Evilsports! Yours sound great! I love kraut, will give it a try next time. :grin:
 
They make something very similar in Nebraska called a Runza although it's usually baked in a rectangular shape. There is even a chain of fast food restaurants called Runza and they serve them at Husker games. Good stuff. I’ll have to try your recipe.
 
Those look great! Very good use of the Dutch oven. :hungry:

I wonder how they would come out with whole wheat flour.
 
They look great and are one of my favorites also. The first time I saw you post these I had to try them, used your recipe and made some. They came out great but weren't as pretty lookin as yours Jeanie.

Hey Jeanie I don't have a cast iron dutch oven :-(
Do you see any reason they wouldn't work with this in the oven? If so any guess on oven temp? Does it matter if I use rapid rising or regular yeast? Thanks for posting your recipe.

I have that same experience every time I make something from one of Jeanie's posts :tsk:
 
Hmm .. bierocks .. piroghi .. pierogi .. piroshky .. seems like it's all the same kind of word, all the same kind of thing, an East European meat pastry. There used to be a cafe near Seattle's Pike Place Market called Kaleenka which served piroshky that was off the hook. Loved that place.

Cowgirl, you are awesome!

I've not tried whole wheat but bet they would be tasty! Let me know if you give it a try please. :grin:

Michael thanks! Glad they tasted good for you and I bet they were "prettier" than mine! :mrgreen:

Thanks Brady!
I use either kind of yeast but most of the time I have quick rising on hand so I use it.

I make them on a baking sheet in the oven at 375 F. They take about 30 minutes. I've also tried them on the drum and Memphis Pro pellet cooker, they came out tasty. Not as brown as the oven gets them but they were good.
Here's a link to pics of them.. http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2010/08/smoked-bierocks-pro-vs-drum.html



Thanks again everyone!!
