  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Dough
  • Mix oats
  • hot water
  • molasses and together
  • allow to sit and cool a bit if hot to your wrist
  • its too hot Somewhere between baby bath water and lukewarm is good Add flour
  • salt
  • and yeast Mix together
  • place in oiled bowl
  • flip to coat in oil
  • cover with lid or plastic wrap Let sit 1 hour
  • or until doubled in bulk Separate into balls Somewhere between a golf and tennis ball
  • depending on how big you want the runzas to be
  • I guess Let those rest at least 15 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 350 Lightly flour a work surface
  • and roll a bit of dough out to as thin a circle as you can manage without tearing it Its ready for filling
  • While the water-oat mix is cooling
  • get started with your filling First
  • get the cabbage shredding out of the way Then dice your onions
  • sing Im NOT crying Flight of the Conchords style as you go wink This will probably take you as long as the water to cool
  • if you are doing the shredding by hand When the bread dough is rising and has about 30 minutes left to rise
  • start with making the filling
  • Saute the onions until translucent 10-12m
  • and crumble in the beef I had to use a bread dough scraper to chop it up small enough to really work with
  • so it didnt stick to the pan If sticking does occur
  • add a little more oil When those are mixed together and heated through
  • add your cabbage I promise it cooks down
  • Stir those around a bit and let flavors meld When the cabbage is getting lighter in color and is softening
  • add your seasonings Let this simmer on a low temp as you work with the bread dough
  • and let the dough balls rest Roll out dough ball when it has rested
  • and fill with 1/3c to 2/3c 1/3 is about right for an 8 or 9 circle
  • so more if you made yours bigger Add additional Worcestershire and soy sauce as needed
  • filling should be moist but not WET
  • To fold the dough around the filling and make it look nice
  • I flipped one long corner over
  • flipped the short ones down Wet the last dough flap with water
  • flip up and press it inches Wetting it will help it stick and not open up It should look something like a burrito now Dust with flour on all sides so it wont stick to your pan and break open Place
  • seam side down
  • on a greased pan and start over Continue until you run out of dough or you run out of filling
