  • STEP 1
    Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast over it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Add warmed milk, melted butter, beaten egg, and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing well. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours. This recipe is perfect for those looking to expand their collection of air fryer oven recipes.
  • STEP 2
    Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add cabbage and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in corned beef, salt, pepper, caraway seeds (if using), and paprika. Cook for 5 more minutes. Let the filling cool slightly.
  • STEP 3
    Preheat the air fryer oven to 170°C (340°F). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal. Using an air fryer oven makes assembling and cooking these bierocks easier and more efficient.
  • STEP 4
    Place bierocks seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Check halfway through and adjust as needed. The air fryer ensures even cooking and a perfect crust.
  • STEP 5
    Allow bierocks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer oven before serving for the best texture. This is a fantastic addition to your air fryer oven recipes collection.
