No I think you were correct the first time, or both are correct. They are Germans that migrated to Russia and then to the Americas.

Emigrated, not migrated We're not birds.

I have had them with provolone melted on top....do you put cheese on the inside or on top? What cheese do you like to use? I am more advanced in my tastes now. I bet some havarti would be delish with these.

Inside before you bake them. Generally a sharp cheddar, but that is just my favorite, Havarti does sound good.

Nice, will have to try some with cheese inside and out.

Bierocks is what they went by where I grew up in Kansas. A lot of Germans settled in that area and bierocks were a very popular item at local events that had food vendors, people would form long lines to get some. The company I used to work for even served them in the cafeteria (with the option of brown gravy poured over them).

Thanks for the recipe @COChix , I'll have to add that to my list of recipes to make!

Lots a bread making going on I see! Looks great!

Been very slack last week or so, have pinched something in my back and it's just enough to ache so I have been lying round more than baking. Gotta get back to it though as I've just run out of things for the kids to take for recess. So after some ideas, whats everyone's quick and easy lunchbox baking item?

@appps sorry to hear your back is acting up...that's no fun at all. Hope it's smooth sailing from here on out.

It's been a long time since I've had to make anything for lunch boxes but homemade cookies are good to take anywhere!

here is what I have...I have not made this recipe with my mom's dough recipe so not sure how many these make and if the portion of meat filling to dough is accurate. If that makes sense. Just wanted to share...if someone tries this recipe before me, please let me know if the portions are correct.

Kraut Burgers or Runza's


Dough

l pkg active dry yeast
l/4 cup water
1 cup milk, scalded
2 Tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons shortening
1 tsp salt
1 egg

soften yeast in l/4 cup water - combine milk, sugar, shortening, salt; cool to lukewarm - add 1 cup of the flour beat well. Beat in softened yeast and egg(I never use the egg unless I am making dinner rolls) gradually add remainingflour to form a soft dough, beating well. Cover and let rise in warm place 82 degrees till double. 1 1/2 to 2 hours - turn out on lightly floured surface and shape as desired. Richer version for rolls - add egg, increase shortening or sugar or both to 1/4 cup.

Filling
2 pounds ground beef

1 large onion thinly sliced
1 Medium Cabbage, chopped

Saute onion in a bit of oil until just translucent. Add hamburger and saute until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Drain away the grease, and return to the pan. Cover the mixture with the shredded cabbage and cook until the cabbage is done.  Stir occasionally. 


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Roll each bread piece out into a 5" square. Using a slotted spoon to scoop mixture (you don't want them soggy) 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.

Serve with a good stone ground mustard and horseradish.

They sound good!!

I have been trying to make sour dough bread using wild yeast. My starter seems to be doing great but my bread no so great. I know it takes a lot longer to raise than using packaged yeast. I'm not giving up until I get it right. It doesn't pass the window pane test.
