Bierocks - respect to the hairy bikers

Hello from the Deep south..

After inspiration from the Hairy Bikers, had a go at bierocks this weekend.. absolutely awesome!! Will be trying them again with some empenada mix in.

Used this recipe for the dough - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pams-bierocks/

Used this recipe for the filling - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/meat_ ... buns_80117

dead easy to make and a firm family favourite..

This is a new one on me. They look great. I'd love to see a photo of a cross-section showing the filling?

I made some too and can confirm that they're delicious.

The only thing is, I told some friends about them on a German forum and they were most indignant, claiming that bierocks are American, not German :lol:.

I was going to ask - Where's the Bier?

or does the name mean - they should be eaten with Beer?

The show suggested that they were traditionally eaten with beer in Germany... Though the suggestion above seemed otherwise. In the show they were cooked in a communal oven. They are slightly salty, bloody tasty and I would think perfect with a fine German beer... To be fair, or with any other for that matter!

Good old Wikipedia notes Argentine or US Connections but definitely puts the origins in Eastern Europe.

Best eaten straight from the oven, but equally good, like all pizza, first thing in the morning, cold, while cooking SWMBO's breakfast in bed!!

They would probably be good cooked as like a Bretzen too

i.e - quick lye bath before the oven...


Hmmm stuffed pretzels..... :P

don't think so, these are a soft 'wheel's' type dough... high fat, quite sweet and very much a 'traditional' type dough.

never cooked pretzels before, but have watched el Hairy Bikers do so.. don't think this would work though.

They look superb. I fancy the idea of doing appropriately flavoured ones to accompany individual soups.
