Nebraska Runza

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Dissolve the yeast in warm water, then add it to the flour mixture along with milk and melted butter. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is browned. Add shredded cabbage, cooking until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into rectangles. Spoon the beef mixture onto each piece of dough, sprinkle with cheese if desired, and fold the dough over, sealing the edges.
Place the filled dough pockets on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy the hearty, savory flavors of this Nebraska classic.
