Runza Dough

Dienia B.'s Note:

All the recipes for runzas call for frozen dough. This is a much better dough. It would be good with any number of fillings like ham and cheese etc. It's 2 packages of yeast but since I'm too stupid to figure out how to put it, I've written the recipe like I found it.

• Total Time: 3 hrs
• Prep Time: 2 hrs
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 5 cups flour , divided
• 3 teaspoons yeast
• ½ cup lard
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 ½ cups water
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs

Directions:

1. Measure 1-3/4 cup flour.
2. Add yeast, lard, sugar, milk, water, and salt.
3. Mix.
4. Add eggs.
5. Stir in remaining flour.
6. Knead 10 minutes; cover; let rise until double. This takes about 1 hour. Now you can go to other runza recipes and use this dough to wrap around the fillings.
7. These are great.

This is very good Runza dough. For 2 packages of yeast its 4 1/2 tsp yeast which is what I used. I made this with your Runza filling!! GREAT Stuff!! Thanks for posting!!!

This made a great Runza! I had to add quite a bit more flour, but the dough was very light when cooked. Thanks for this taste of Nebraska.

The recipe needed a little more clerification. Maybe needed to be a little mroe in detail. But the measurements for everything was good. It takes about an hour for the dough to rise.
