INSTRUCTIONS:

1st Step – In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
2nd Step – Add melted butter, salt, and half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
3rd Step – Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4th Step – While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
5th Step – Add chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent. Add shredded cabbage to the skillet and continue cooking until cabbage is tender.
6th Step – Season the filling with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or sauces of your choice (such as garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce). Mix well and remove from heat.
7th Step – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
8th Step – Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions, depending on the size of Runza you prefer. Roll out each portion of dough into an oval or rectangle shape on a floured surface.
9th Step – Spoon a generous amount of the prepared filling onto one half of each dough piece, leaving space around the edges.
10th Step – Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely, forming a pocket or crescent shape.
12th Step – Press the edges firmly to seal, and you can crimp or fold the edges for a decorative finish.
13th Step – Place the assembled Runzas on the prepared baking sheets. If desired, brush the tops of the Runzas with beaten egg for a golden finish.
14th Step – Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
