Remove the core from the cabbage and slice it thin; set aside.

Dice one medium-sized onion and add it to the cabbage.

In a hot pan with a little oil, brown the ground beef (80/20 Certified Angus Beef).

Season the beef with salt, pepper, and paprika, developing a seared crust before flipping.

Break up the ground beef as it continues to cook, then add the cabbage and onion to the pan.

Lower the heat and let the mixture cook down together.

Roll out the store-bought pizza dough into a 12 by 14 inch rectangle and cut it into four equal pieces.

Lay cheese down on each piece of dough to help hold the filling together.

Scoop the beef filling into the center of each dough rectangle, packing it well.

Pinch the corners of the dough together to seal the bierocks.

Spray each bierock with cooking oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 6 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for an additional 6 minutes.
