Preheat oven to 350degrees. Return dough to floured surface and divide into 12 balls. Roll out into 6" rounds. Spoon about 1/4cup beef mixture into center of each round, then fold edges in and pinch closed. Place seam side down, on an oiled baking sheet and set aside to raise for 20 minutes. Bake until golden,15-20 minutes. Brush with remaining butter and serve.

We are currently in Nebraska and they have a fast food chain that makes these here, they are called Runzas. I have never heard of them anywhere else so I think it is a NE based chain. They are very good and always made fresh and hot.
