Currently Playing: Cooking RUNZA in Nebraska | Better Than the Chain?

SRS FIELD LOG // ENTRY 11: 42.83° N, 103.00° W Day 11 on the Long Way Around... Woke up in a Walmart parking lot, chased down Carhenge in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, then made a pilgrimage to Runza for the real deal before driving out to the Sandhills to camp and try to make my own from scratch. Theirs vs mine, you be the judge. If you've never had a Runza, it's a Nebraska thing, a baked bread pocket stuffed with beef, cabbage, and onion, and was genuinely so good. would make again. NEBRASKA RUNZA RECIPE (makes 4) DOUGH: - Half cup warm water - 1 packet instant yeast (2 and a quarter tsp) - 2 tbsp sugar - Half tsp salt - 1 egg yolk - 1 tbsp melted butter - 1 and a half to 1 and three quarter cups flour FILLING: - Half pound ground beef (80/20) - 2 tbsp finely chopped onion - Three quarter cup finely shredded cabbage - 1 tbsp water - Half tsp salt - Eighth tsp black pepper - Dash of Tabasco - 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce TO FINISH - 1 tbsp melted butter for brushing METHOD: Whisk water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in the egg yolk and melted butter, then add flour half a cup at a time until you have a soft, slightly tacky dough. Knead 5 minutes, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 40 to 50 minutes. While it rises, brown the beef with the onion, drain most of the grease, then add the cabbage, water, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Spread it out to cool completely (this is the step that makes or breaks it, warm filling means soggy bread). Punch down the dough, divide into 4, and roll each into a 5 to 6 inch square. Drop a heaping quarter cup of cooled filling in the center, pull the corners up, and pinch the seams shut tight. Place seam side down on a greased or parchment lined pan. Rest 10 to 15 minutes while the oven heats to 350 F. Bake 18 to 22 minutes until deep golden brown. Brush with melted butter right out of the oven, rest 5 minutes, eat.
