Cup of Yum
Preparing the dough
- Remove 18 dough balls and set on a baking tray and cover with Saran wrap. Let the dough thaw for 1.5 hours.
- On a well floured surface, sprinkle a little flour on the dough and roll gently to about 1/16 of an inch thick. The dough will be slightly smaller than a regular corn tortilla.
- Place a heaping ¼ cup of the beef mixture into the center of the dough.
- Fold up two opposite edges of the dough and pinch together.
- Bring up one side of the dough and pinch together.
- Bring up the final side of the dough and pinch together to form a tight seal.
- Flip the bierock over and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Let the bierocks rest for 1.5 hours, to rise slightly.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake the bierocks for about 25-30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Turn the pan 180 degrees halfway through.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor can substitute sauerkraut for the cabbage, but if you do this decrease the amount by half.
