Directions:Brown ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Add onions and cabbage, cook and cover about 15 minutes. Fold in cheese and set to cool until lukewarm. Roll dough ¼ in thick and cut into squares. Put fillings on each square, pinch together and place on greased pan. Let rise 20 minutes. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Simple Bread Dough: The key to activating yeast is finding the right water temperature. Don't let this intimidate you: just think bathwater. If it feels warm on the wrist, but not hot, it's ready to pour into a bowl. Add the yeast. Measure the sugar into the bowl. Whisk until the sugar and yeast are dissolved. Measure 1 cup of the flour into the bowl. Spoon the flour into a dry measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Whisk the measure well, then let it "proof," or sit for 10 minutes. It tiny bubbles appear and the batter looks slightly expanded, you're on the right track. Stir in the salt, then add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time. This can be quite messy. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter top. To knead, fold the dough in half and push it down and away with the heel of your hand, rotate the dough, and repeat until it is smooth and elastic. (Kneading can take up to 10 minutes.) Place the ball in a bowl greased with vegetable oil and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a draft-free area for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. Punch the dough down. Knead it again to remove air bubbles, then shape and bake it. |
