Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Start by making the dough. In a medium mixing bowl combine milk, yeast, butter, salt, sugar, adding the eggs last. Set aside.

* Step 2

In a large mixing bowl measure out the four. Using a whisk, or fork stir flour making a nice loose powder.

* Step 3

Stir the wet ingredients thoroughly and dump into large bowl of flour. Using your hands miss and knead into a soft dough. Maybe slightly sticky.

* Step 4

Butter the sides of the large mixing bowl. Roll the dough in the butter. Cover and set aside for about an hour to double in size.

* Step 5

Start the filing.

* Step 6

In a large stock pot, over medium to low heat add chopped onion and ground beef to pot. Cook until the ground beef is lightly browned.

* Step 7

Slowly stir coarsely chopped cabbage into the stock pot of meat. It will be a lot. Cook until cabbage it's soft. Remove from heat.

* Step 8

Preheat oven to 350°F.

* Step 9

Gently flour a surface to roll out your dough. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

* Step 10

Punch down the dough. Pinch off enough dough to make a dinner roll. Pat both sides of dough on floured surface. Roll into a rectangle, or circle. Either works. You don't want to see through the dough.

* Step 11

Spoon mixture into the center of your rolled out dough. You can add cheese, extra toppings, or spices as you like. Pull dough around filling. Pinch to seal dough. Place sealed side down on parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat until you are out of filling or dough.
