Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages of active yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups milk room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2-3 cups bread flour

Instructions
 

  • Add yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar to warm water *see note
  • Stirring add milk and oil to water mixture
  • Mix about 2 cups of flour with the remainder of sugar and salt
  • Add dry mixture to liquid mixture
  • Mix with mixer until dough is elastic
  • Put in enough flour to make bread dough form into a nice ball
  • Pour out onto a lightly floured surface and knead (if you use a kitchen aid mixer instead let it mix on low speed 6-8 minutes and skip this step)
  • Let dough rise while you make the meat and cabbage mixture

Notes

Goes great with sweet potato fries!!
A note about yeast. Active dry yeast should be dissolved in water before using. Instant yeast can be mixed right into your dry ingredients. Using bread machine yeast means you have to give the dough two rises before baking. If that's all you have you can let the second rise be after the burgers are wrapped.
