HOMEMADE BEER ROCK RECIPES

What could be better than a cold, refreshing beer on a hot summer day? How about a beer rock bierock, a classic German and Eastern European beer-filled pastry?

Preparing Beer Rocks Bierock

Beer rocks bierock are popular fare in the US Midwest, typically served warm with a sprinkling of sugar after baking. And while you can use store-bought dough, it’s simple and fun to make your own with just a few basic kitchen ingredients!

Ingredients

• 1½ cups self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup cold beer (dark beer like Guinness works best!)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup Guinness or other dark beer
• 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• ¼ teaspoon caraway seed

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Using a fork or your fingers, mix ingredients together until they are crumbly.
2. Stir in the beer and mix well until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few minutes.
3. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Using your hands, shape each piece into an oval shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a greased teaspoon of sauerkraut, onion, and cheese in the center of each oval.
4. Fold each oval in half, tucking the edges in and using a fork to crimp and seal. Brush each filled bierock with melted butter and sprinkle with caraway seed.
5. Bake on preheated 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
6. Serve warm with a sprinkle of sugar and a cold beer on the side.

Serving Beer Rocks

Beer rocks bierock can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or as a meal in itself. Hot, with a sprinkle of sugar, they are delectable and utterly satisfying. With a cold beer on the side, what could be better?
