How to make it

  • To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the sugar and yeast in warm water.
  • Allow yeast to proof until foamy (about 10 minutes).
  • Mix in salt and oil.
  • Mix in flour, one cup at a time until a soft dough has formed.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • Place in a well-oiled bowl and turn to coat.
  • Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size (approximately 1 hour).
  • On a lightly floured surface, punch down dough and knead for 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide dough into balls (about the size of a lime).
  • To make filing: In a large pot, brown ground beef and onion. Drain.
  • Stir in salt and pepper, ground mustard and shredded cabbage.
  • Continue cooking until cabbage is tender (approximately 7-10 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll each bread piece out into a 5" square.
  • Place about a 1/3 cup of filling into each square.
  • Bring up sides and pinch together.
  • Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and allow to rise 10 minutes.
  • Bake kraut burgers in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately brush kraut burgers with melted butter.

    Sounds really good I love these types of recipes wrapped in dough. That mustard makes all the difference in the world.
    Five forks and a smile :)

    I've been thinking of making bier rocks / kraut runzas / kraut burgers for awhile now. I may cheat and use frozen dough -- is that okay with you?
