Runza Rolls/Bierocks - Perfect for School Lunches

I got inspired with this idea from
Loanne Chiu off the Better Recipes Site

I’ve really wanted to make these little filled bread rolls, since I saw this recipe,
Those Eastern Europeans certainly know how to make tasty delights
Bite into the roll and there is a fabulous filling of mince and vege
Like a pie but probably healthier
I did quite a lot of research and most of the American recipes use a Frozen Bread Roll
brand not available in New Zealand.
I like to make my own bread and it is very easy
So In the end I really liked Loanne's recipe for the enriched bread
No Butter, Oil instead, no Sugar or Milk but but Sweetened Condensed Milk
Interesting
Freeze for school lunches
Just pop onto a 170C degree oven and cook for about 15 minutes
The kids will get a fresh roll for their lunch
Yum
This made 16 rolls

First make the filling
1 tablespoon Olive oil
250 gms Ground Beef
1 large onions peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon grated Garlic Cloves
2 cups Shredded Cabbage (or Store-bought Coleslaw Mix)
1 tsp Sea Salt
1½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar


Heat the oil in a 12-inch frying pan until hot.
Cook beef until colour is no longer pink.
Season with Salt and pepper
Add onions and cook until limp.
Add cabbage and garlic 
Cook till cabbage softened
Add vinegar
Taste and add more salt and pepper if you need it 

Let cool and set aside

The Bread
1 cup Warm Water
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Large Eggs
3½ cups Bread Flour, plus ¼ cup flour for sprinkling
1 tsp Sea Salt
2½ tsp (1 Pkt.) Active Dry Yeast

1 extra egg beaten, for egg wash

Her instructions are for a bread machine, I am using my food processor
If you want to use the bread machine, just follow the manufacturer’s instructions
The remove the uncooked dough and proceed with making the rolls
But if you want to use the Food Processor, go ahead

So, place room temp condensed milk, warm water, olive oil in a bowl
Sprinkle yeast over the top
Let the yeast activate
Beat eggs
Meanwhile add flour and salt to the food processor
Add all wet ingredients into flour
Run on low speed till dough forms
Turn out onto a floured bench and knead
It is quite a wet dough, and takes about 5 - 8 minutes to get into shape
Don't add too much flour just work the dough
Place into an oiled bowl to rise
Turn over once to make sure it is all oiled
 Cover and leave for about an hour
Turn out onto a floured bench
Cut in half and roll 1 half into a sausage
Cut into 8 pieces
On a floured bench roll each piece into a circle
About 100 mm
Put a tablespoon of filling in the middle
Pinch edges together and place twist side down
on a tray lined with baking paper
Turn oven onto 170C
Cover with a tea towel and let rise another 20 minutes

Brush with egg wash and cook till golden brown
15-20 minutes
I completed cooking one tray and immediately ate 2 for lunch
So so delicious








 BUT the second tray I decided to prepare for the freezer
Just cook for 10 minutes
Cool
Into the freezer in a tray to free flow freeze
Freeze and place into a plastic storage bag
