User Comments:
- "These Bierocks were a huge hit with my family! They're so easy to make and they taste amazing."
- "I love that I can use whatever fillings I want. I've tried them with just beef, with pork and sauerkraut, and even with a vegetarian filling."
- "The dough is light and fluffy, and the filling is moist and flavorful. I highly recommend these turnovers!"
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to brown the meat thoroughly before adding the vegetables. This will help to ensure that the Bierocks are cooked through.
- If you don't have a pizza cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles.
- If the edges of the Bierocks start to brown too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil.
