My Grandma used to bake something like this, but she used sauerkraut instead of cabbage and some shredded carrot for colour. They were bursting with meaty, zesty flavour. I should make some soon.
I had these for the first time in my 46 years of living. Never knew they existed. The little guy had a class party for Thanksgiving and A Heinrich made them. So I knew they were German. I was blown away. Yours look soo good. Your video came out great as well. Danke und haben Sie einen guten Tag!
I dated a girl in 97' who was born on Ramstein AFB Germany, we were both Air Force in Med Tech school in Texas. She made these for me a lot. Same recipe youre using tho it can vary quite a bit. Absolutely my fave. Havent thought about them in years and now I'm definitely going to make some. Thanks for the memories!
We also toss in some shredded carrot to ours. If one is especially lazy just use bagged coleslaw mix in place of shredding a cabbage, and Texas rolls for the dough. Leftover filling is great scattered over rice, maybe with a spot of Worcestershire
I’m from Nebraska and there was a settlement of Germans from Russia many years ago. They made these items, and a family started a business selling what they called Runzas. Pretty tasty!
Lived in Germany all my life and I swear this is the first I heard of them. Though that doesn't mean much: it could be from south of the Weißwurst equator or some other corner; all the federal states have their own specialties.
oh you should try these, they are so good. i have also used the pillsbury bisquits and they were delicious. yes it is beautiful here in oregon. were almost into snow weather soon.
The reason you never heard of them is they are Russian not German. Bierock is a Russian word as well as the name used in Latvia. Make them bite size and serve with vodka out of the freezer. Until 1938 there was the Russian German Republic of the Volga. In 1938 Stalin sent the German speaking Russians to a new home in Siberia, After 1982 Germany accepted these German speaking Russians to move to Germany. My village in the USA left in 1891 to avoid their children serving in the Russian army. Interesting side note The guns being issued to the Russian soldiers in Ukraine today are dated 1891. Traditionally some of the dough was used to make a deep fried bread called Grebble or Krebble , roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick, cut into rectangles any size you want , cut a slit in the center and deep fry on both sides. dip in powdered sugar serve with coffee.
german here and i've never come across these things in my entire life. seems like something i'd expect to find in eastern europe, not in germany. the name sounds similar to pirogge. looks yummy though.
@@tomsitzman3952 Haha, German in the sense that the people were still speaking German after 200 years in Russia when they left for the US around 1900, for that very reason.
Kraut Kooking as My grandmother, a German by birth, who immigrated from the Volga region of Russia in the late 19th century made these. She cut her dough in medium sized triangles spoonful of filling and pinched up the seams. After baking we would spread with homemade butter salt and pepper. Miss her!
I have seen people make them from biscuits...different doughs..BUT If you want the best taste...do use yeast dough. It compliments the bierocks so well...that they taste yummy straight from the fridge. Such simple ingrediants that meld together perfectly.
Just made these and they are baking now! Only thing I did different was used some garlic in a jar and added about a tablespoon of soy sauce to the cabbage. (Also used pork sausage) it’s a childhood favorite of mine.
I haven’t had any of these since high school in a small Midwest town in Oklahoma. Two ladies that were German made them and they were delicious. Gotta have my wife make me some. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Mom used to make them with yeast bread roll dough and called them graught (not spelled right) burgers. Dad and the whole family thought it was special when we got them. Yours look great.
I came from a Volga German background as well. Bierock were our traditional Christmas Eve meal. I haven’t made them in recent years, but believe I must have some this December!
Our family does not add cabbage or carrots to our bierock. My grandmother used leftover roast meat when making hers, but I have only made mine with hamburger and onions.
Hi I just came across your recipe. Looks so amazing. Reminds me of my Had a QUESTION for you…… how many ounces in the pack of pizza dough? I was able to find the raw pizza dough in a 16 ounce pack at the king Soopers Also how many did it make?

I’m so looking forward to it. they remind me of my grandma She would spend hours making dozens these aside from quantity I know a lot of time spent waiting on the dough to rise. Then rise again after putting them together. Thank you again for your helpful pizza Dough tip. Hope u have a great day

Yes they are sometimes made with sauerkraut, or with the left over Sunday pot roast. Or on Friday with cottage cheese

Lol makes sense, thought I'd seen these in Latvia. Definately not German

hope you try them, they are so good
From my understanding. It’s Mennonite/ Volga German
@@katiemarie3 seems about the area I'd expect to find it. Wouldn't define it as traditional German food though.
You are correct. They are not German. Someone's grandma lied about where the family came from. Very common in the USA
@@tomsitzman3952

Kraut Rounds like my Oma used to make.. Wonder job!
thanks so much. really appreciate your nice comment.
YUM! I love this recipe, thank you. Your video is very soothing, and the backround music runs in perfect.
You are so welcome!

how fun. I bet it was a big deal
Mmmmm, this sounds wonderful and will give it a try this week.
Hope you enjoy
Wen I was a young girl in grade school thru high school in the 70's and early 80's , we call them cabbage burgers with brown gravy sauce. Yumm
yes i've heard some like the brown gravy..oh cabbage burgers i think theres been alot of names for it.
I have seen people make them from biscuits...different doughs..BUT If you want the best taste...do use yeast dough. It compliments the bierocks so well...that they taste yummy straight from the fridge.
Such simple ingrediants that meld together perfectly.
yes so good
mmm...those look good❤ Thanks for the recipe! -Happy Easter ✝
oh thankyou..happy easter to you too.
Good idea using the pizza dough!

Making these today.

Slippery little sucker lol. They look delicious, thank you.

People said it before, this is unknown in Germany. It is some kind of thing ethnic Germans came up with in other countries.
interesting
