Cherry Bombs for Christmas!

1️⃣ Make the Dough:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit until frothy (about 5-10 minutes). 🕰️
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. 👩‍🍳
3. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size. 🌞

2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned. 🌟
2. Stir in the cabbage, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender. Let the filling cool slightly. 🥘

3️⃣ Assemble the Runzas:

1. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle. 📏
2. Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto each rectangle. Fold the edges over and pinch to seal. 🥟
3. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4️⃣ Bake to Perfection:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow the Runzas to rest for 15 minutes before baking.
2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy them warm! 🤤

✨ Pro Tip: Brush the tops with melted butter right out of the oven for that extra golden glow and richness! 😍
