Kraut Kuchen
"My husband being Volga Deutsch, always talked about some of what he called Depression Meals while living home as a boy. Being from Northern Germany, I had never heard of Kraut Kuchen so this recipe came from his mother."

Don't you have to wait for these rolls to rise before rolling them out?

I actually didn't make this recipe, but have my mother's which is similar. We always used frozen, rising loafs of bread. But through the years I started using the frozen, rising biscuits because they are about the right size. I loved it as a kid and have been making it for at least 50 years!!

This recipe almost exactly is in the Bethel Home Auxiliary Cook Book of Favorite Recipes from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 1965 first printing. I have the fifth printing from June, 1969. So excited to have my granddaughter, who is studying German in high school, to come across this recipe. I have been making Kraut Kuchen since 1969 when I received the cook book. Pillsbury Hot Roll mix isn't always available so I have been using the bread machine to make the dough. This recipe freezes well when the Kraut Kuchen is completely cool. -
I have been making this recipe for years! Made it with my momma as a little girl. Make my own bread dough and add a little garlic to the filling and it is amazing!

These are fantastic. I've been making them for years. The only thing I do different is use thawed frozen bread dough instead of the hot roll mix. Also, you can make appetizers by rolling up the meat/cabbage mixture in egg roll wrappers and deep fry. Yummy. We use a hot mustard sauce to dip them in. -
