Runza

Prepare bread dough                                                                                                             In a bread machine, you will need 2 batches of your Basic White Bread. If using frozen bread loaves, thaw them & you will need several of them         

Chop 1 head of cabbage & 1onion & saute them in a skillet with a little oil until tender In another skillet, brown 1 lb hamburger.

While the skillets are doing their thing, prepare the bread dough, by rolling it out to the size of runza you will want. For a meal size runza, roll out about a 6 inch circle                                        For smaller portions (for kids) roll out a 4 inch circle

Combine hamburger with cabbage/onion mixture, stir to mix thoroughly. Place about 3-4 T of mixture in center of bread dough. Fold sides of dough over mixture & seal edges. Bake in 375o oven for about 15 minutes or till bread is golden brown..You can freeze runzas and reheat easily.

You can add a little bit of cheese to top of mixture before sealing edges.

Hints:I bought some tart molds (I'm sure you have seen them, they come in 3 sizes) and use them to make my runzas..that way they all come out the same size..I just roll out the dough, place the dough over the mold, put filling in center of dough & fold mold over & press, sealing the edges...alot less work..I tell you those molds are the next best thing since sliced bread..at least for making runzas.
