Get ready to sink your teeth into these soft, golden buns bursting with a savory blend of seasoned beef, melted cheese and crisp cabbage.
Ingredients
- DOUGH:
- 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (110° to 115°)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 to 2-1/4 cups bread flour
- FILLING:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1-1/2 cups chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, egg, salt and 1 cup flour; beat on low for 3 minutes. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; crumble meat; drain. Add cabbage, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool.
- Punch dough down and divide into 12 pieces. Gently roll out each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each circle of dough with about 1/4 cup filling. Fold dough over filling to meet in the center; pinch edges to seal.
- Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Brush with butter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

On the outside, these golden buns resemble ordinary dinner rolls. But one bite reveals the tasty, cheesy beef filling inside. —Sharon Leno, Keansburg, New Jersey
