	Runzas 01

		Runzas Yield: 18 sandwiches 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 1 head cabbage, chopped 4 onions, thinly sliced 2 pk yeast 1/4 c water 2 c warm water 6 T oil 5 T sugar 1 T salt 5 1/2 c flour or more Brown beef and remove from pan, saute onions in hamburger grease until transparent. Add cabbage and cooked beef to onions and cook until tender, adding a little water if it gets too dry if necessary). Season to taste with salt and pepper. For dough, soften the 2 pkg yeast in 1/4 cup water. Add 2 cups warm water, the oil, sugar, and salt. Add flour until the dough consistency is no longer sticky (but not too stiff). Let rise until double, punch down and let re-rise (about another hour). These can truly be made in about any size or shape (appetizer vs. sandwich, round vs. rectangular), so use your own judgment. Take a piece of dough and roll into a rectangular or round shape, about 1/4" thick. Add filling, and pinch the edges firmly to seal making sure the filling is totally enclosed. Flatten slightly, and place on greased cookie sheet or pan, seam-side down. Let rise again until about double (about 1/2 hour or so). Bake at 375 or 30 minutes. If desired, brush with 1 beaten egg mixed with a little water about 15 minutes into baking for a nice golden color.
