- Baking sheet
- Sharp knife
- Pastry brush (optional)
- Oven
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef or pork
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the dough
- 1 package frozen bread dough, thawed (approx. 1 pound or 450g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the bread dough package.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, sauerkraut, chopped onion, minced garlic, caraway seeds (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix properly so all the ingredients meld together well.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into smaller squares or circles, depending on your preferred size for the Krautburgers.
- Spoon a generous amount of the meat and sauerkraut filling onto one-half of each dough square or circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, creating a pocket. Press the edges firmly together to seal the Krautburger.
- Place the assembled Krautburgers on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, lightly brush the tops of the Krautburgers with beaten egg or melted butter to enhance the browning and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for the time indicated on the bread dough package or until the Krautburgers are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the Krautburgers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
