Since I have been introduced to these delicious little guys, I have added my own seasoning, a little butter and mozzarella which gives them a creamy richer flavor. A traditional recipe brought to a whole new level :)

How To Make mozzarella cabbage burgers

  • 1
    dissolve yeast in warm water, add sugar let rest 5 minutes. Mix in oil, salt and egg. Add flour.
  • 2
    knead dough about 5 minutes, place in bowl and cover (I use a tea towel) let rise for one hour (Its draft free and comfy inside a microwave, that is where I put mine)
  • 3
    While dough is rising, while browning the ground beef add all seasonings and onion. (drain if a fattier beef blend is used) add shredded cabbage and cook down until the cabbage turns translucent and begins to brown.
  • 4
    quickly stir in butter and mozzarella. Set aside so it cools down.
  • 5
    punch dough down and knead about 3 minutes, let rise another hour
  • 6
    punch dough down and roll out into about a 18x18 inch square. It should end up being 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • 7
    cut into 16 even squares
  • 8
    put 1/3 C of filling in a square of dough
  • 9
    fold and pinch together one corner at a time
  • 10
    flip over and put on baking sheet. (I bake off 8 at a time so they have room in between them)
  • 11
    bake until nicely browned about 25 minutes at 325 degrees, brush with melted butter immediately.
