Das Bierocks, my take(thanks Cowgirl!!)

[bjarolim]

So Cowgirl made those Bierocks the other day and said, "I gotta make some!!!"

Such a nice day out today I had to use the smoker but didn't have many options in the freezer to choose so I went with some bierocks.

Now mine aren't quite up to Cowgirls level but they were still pretty dang tasty. And I'm gonna need cowgirl to give me a lesson on how to seal she seals them and gets it back into a nice ball, cause I suck at it, so I went a different route.

First I took some ground beef season it and mixed it up. Then diced up an onion and some peppers, gave them a quick sweat, added ground beef, drained the grease and back in the pan and added some rotel to it and cooked a bit more and drained again.

Then I took cowgirls dough recipe, mixed it, kneaded dough, then put in a bowl to let it rise.

Quick side note tho, I was proofing the yeast just to make sure it was still active. Because last time I used this yeast to make some cinnamon rolls, dough never rose and I had to make flat bread outta the non risen dough and was an unhappy farker.

So proofing the yeast it was foaming a bit, but not alot so I threw another pack of yeast and it start to get going a little better.

So I let the dough rise maybe 1.5 hours or so, that yeast was on its last stand cause it didn't quite double in size but almost. Punched dough, rolled out little balls and tried to replicate cowgirls bierocks and failed. So then I said screw it and used 2 pieces of dough to make 1 rock. 1 on bottom and 1 on top on rolled the edges in to make somewhat of a mini calzone style bierock. Put them in the smoker at about 350° took bout 15 minutes to cook, then did a burn out on the smoker.

Next I made a dipping sauce outta tomato paste, cream of mushroom, and some veggie stock. Added some garlic, bay leaves, little cumin, and some Italian herb blend. This was a jackpot sauce for these puppies. Enough talk here are some pics.

Your version looks one heck of a lot better than mine! I'm going to give this a try, Thanks! :grin:

[Jbowie]

Cowgirl I've been making bieroche for years. My recipe is much like yours but I use just the oven. The previous chef did not use cabbage did he? If you can't have BBQ have BIEROCHE and Shiner Bock
