Bierocks are small wrap sandwiches made with fresh bread and a meat or vegetable filling. Vegetarian bierocks are made with an all-vegetable filling and are just as delicious as their meat-heavy counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe takes time to make (about 2-3 hours, total) but it’s worth it. Vegetarian bierocks freeze well and can be thawed in a lunchbox or overnight at room temperature. You can also microwave frozen bierocks for 15-30 seconds and they are ready to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve with a dab of good mustard and they are surprisingly satisfying and filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Vegetarian Bierocks Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the best vegetarian bierocks recipes I’ve ever found. What are bierocks?\u00a0 Think of them like little portable sandwiches. They are also called runzas and typically contain a soft, sweet bread wrapped around a savory filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many cultures enjoy such sandwiches. Coal miners carried “pasties” in their lunch buckets; these portable meat-filled sandwiches could be heated over lamps or small fires or eaten right from the lunch pail. Today, we can purchase “Hot Pocket” sandwiches in the frozen food aisle at the supermarket. It’s the same concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bierocks Recipe Vegetarian Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most bierocks recipes contain meat in the filling and are heavy on the salt. I cut the salt by 2\/3 in this recipe without sacrificing taste and virtually eliminated the cholesterol from the filling by making it vegetarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t cut all the salt from the bread recipe, however. Salt helps the rising process. Without salt, your bread pastry wrap will be tough, and it needs to be soft and pliable to make the little pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetarian Bierocks Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The filling in this recipe consists of shredded cabbage, onion, and carrot, cooked until soft in olive oil. That’s it. I add a bit of Braggs Amino Acids, a soy sauce alternative, for flavor. Be sure to cook the filling first then put it in the refrigerator while you make the bread dough. The filling is easier to work with when chilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
