Ingredients

16 Rhodes rolls (frozen unbaked roll dough)

Instructions

Place frozen rolls several inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 3–5 hours.
While the dough rises, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. When halfway browned, add butter, onion, and cabbage.
Cook until beef is fully browned and vegetables are soft and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let the filling cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
On a lightly floured surface, flatten each risen dough ball into a small circle.
Spoon a rounded scoop of the beef mixture into the center of each circle. Bring the edges up and pinch together to seal, rolling gently between your hands to smooth the seams.
Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush evenly over each roll.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown and puffed.
Cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Add shredded cheese to the filling for a cheeseburger-style Runza.

Use bagged coleslaw mix instead of chopping cabbage for convenience.

Ensure seams are tightly sealed to prevent openings during baking.

For a softer crust, brush baked Runzas with melted butter instead of egg wash.

Freeze baked Runzas for up to 3 months; reheat at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
