Preparation

Step 1

The filling:

Heat butter in a sauté pan over low-medium heat. Once foaming, add onion and sprinkle with salt. Let sweat for 10-15 minutes until starting to brown.

While onions cook, coat a cast iron skillet with oil and heat over fairly high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the mushrooms. Sauté until browning begins.

Set aside.

Step 2

Back to the onions, begin to stir occasionally until a rich color forms. Increase heat and deglaze with the broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add cabbage, chipotle chilies and mushrooms. Bring to simmer and cover. Cook for a few minutes until cabbage softens.

Step 3

Remove lid and cook over medium-high heat until liquid has been mostly reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add cheese off heat. Set aside in the fridge until ready to assemble.

Step 4

The dough:

Combine half of the bread flour with the yeast and 3/4 cup water heated to 120 F. Whisk in 3 eggs and work for a few minutes. Toss in the butter, sugar, salt and the rest of the flour. Let sit for 20 minutes.

Step 5

On a floured surface, knead the dough until gluten forms to give some tightness. 5-7 minutes. Transfer the dough to a oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for an hour in a warm location in the house. Store in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 6

Baking time:

Chop the dough into 8-10 pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Let them warm up for at least 20 minutes while being covered.

Step 7

Roll each ball into a rectangle about 3" by 5" on a floured surface and load with roughly a half cup of filling each. Wrap and pinch close to form a oblong shape bun for each runsa and place seam-side down on a oiled baking sheet.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Let the runsas rise for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Whisk an egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush down each runsa before backing.

Step 10

Bake until golden brown for about 20-25 minutes.
