A runza (also called a bierock fleischkuche or Kraut Pirok) is a yeast dough bread pocket with a filling consisting of beef pork cabbage or sauerkraut onions and seasonings. They are baked in various shapes such as a half-moon rectangle round (bun) square or triangle. In Nebraska the runza is usually baked in a rectangular shape. The bierocks of Kansas on the other hand are generally baked in the shape of a bun.
