These were so easy and amazingly delicious! Simplicity at it's finest. Now, to get myself to Nebraska to try them from the source...
RUNZA:
The Dough:
- 4.5 teaspoons (2 envelopes) active dry yeast
- Pinch of sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup (one stick) unsalted butter, cut into pats and softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 580 grams all purpose flour (plus some more as needed)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
The Filling:
- 4 cups cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2lbs lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1. Bloom yeast in stand mixer bowl by adding yeast, pinch of sugar and the milk & water which have been heated to 100-110 degrees F. Allow to bloom for about 10 minutes until top is foamy
2. Add butter, sugar, eggs, flour and water. With dough hook, begin mixing on low and increase speed. After 5 minutes or so, check dough consistency. It should be tacky, not sticky. If it's too sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time and mix until combined. Check again and repeat until dough reaches desired consistency.
3. Turn dough out on to a floured workspace. Knead dough for a few minutes, adding flour as needed to form a soft ball that springs back gently when pushed.
4. Place dough ball into a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
5. Chop cabbage and onion
6. In a large pot, add onion over medium high heat and stir occasionally until sizzling
7. Add meat and break up with spoon as it browns
8. When almost fully browned, add seasoned salt and pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.
9. Add cabbage and cook until cabbage is tender
10. Remove from heat and pour filling mix into a colander to drain off excess liquid.
11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
12. Punch down dough and remove from bowl. If you have a scale, weigh entire dough ball and divide into 12 equal portions. If you don't have a scale, divide equally by eye. May the odds be in your favor.
13. Roll each piece into a small log, and roll with rolling pin into a rectangle about 8x6
14. Fill each piece with ½ cup of filling. Fold over on long axis, slightly overlapping the seam on the bottom. Fold ends under and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Don't overcrowd them. Add 1 slice of cheese torn in half to each before adding filling if desired.
15. Bake in center of oven at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown
16. Allow to cool for a bit before devouring
17. Enjoy!
Runza? Mystery Meat Sandwich Nobody Talks about except Nebraskans!

Alright, raise your hand if you’ve ever heard of a runza sandwich! If you are from one of four lucky Midwestern states, namely Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, or Iowa, you’re probably waving both hands in the air right now! That’s right, we see you! And if you aren’t, you’re probably staring blankly at the screen. But don’t worry, your life is about to change. And by the end of this video, you’ll be raring to go on a “runza run”. So, what the heck is a runza???
In today’s video, we will dive deep into this classic Midwestern sandwich, which originates back to 1700s Russia. Long story short, a bunch of Germans moved to the middle of nowhere Russia, invented the runza, then moved to Nebraska and brought their delicious creation with them! Yes, there are quite a few more parts to that story, but in the end, we can thank Russia and Europe for these delectable, cabbage-filled sandwiches! Oh, and we also need to thank a woman named Sally Everett, who brought runzas to the masses when she opened the first Runza restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1949.
We’ll begin by discussing the origin of the runza, then explore how it became a Midwestern franchise sensation with over 80 restaurants currently open, and still expanding! We’ll dive into a controversy regarding a Runza franchise at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, and sneak peek, it doesn’t have a happy ending. Next, you’ll see which celebrity chef visited a Runza and LOVED IT!!! Finally, we’ll show you how to make your own runza at home. You’d better go stock up on meat and cabbage!
How do you like your runza - classic, or with cheese? Would you consider using this dinner recipe for your next meal? Tell us in the comments below! And make sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this!

⬇️ How to make Bierocks (Runza) ⬇️
0:10 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bread Dough:
0:12 Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water to activate. Feed your yeast with a pinch of sugar and let stand for 15 minutes, until foam appears.
0:21 In a large bowl, sift the flour, add sugar and salt, and stir. Pour the yeast water. Mix until there are no more clumps of dry flour.
0:33 Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is elastic.
0:39 Transfer the dough back into the bowl. Brush it with oil.
0:43 Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for at least 1 hour undisturbed in a warm area.
0:47 Once it has doubled in size, place the dough into a floured worktop. Form the dough into one big ball.
0:55 Divide it into 25 to 30 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place them on a baking sheet covered with a kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
1:02 Set them aside to prove for 30 minutes. While waiting, prepare the filling.
Filling:
1:04 Heat up a skillet on medium heat and cook the beef breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Drain the excess oil.
1:10 Add the cabbage and onions, let it cook for 40 minutes or until the cabbage is fully wilted and season with salt and pepper.
1:19 Once done, transfer into a bowl and let it cool. Mix in the cheese after the mixture has cooled off.
1:27 Take the dough and using a rolling pin, flatten each piece into about ⅛-inch thickness.
Fill each dough with 2 tablespoons of filling.
1:32 To fold, take two opposite edges to the middle and pinch them together. Do the same to the other side. Pinch the seams together to seal.
1:40 Place the bierocks into the baking sheet seam side down leaving at least 1-inch space in between each. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used up.
1:48 Bake the bierocks for 13 to 15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
1:53 Brush them with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve and enjoy!
