Würstchen im Schlafrock - Sausage in a dressing gown

 Hello Folks!!!

"[bread crackles] Oh, symphony of crackle. Only great bread sound this way. I didn't have to help you! If I looked out only for myself, I would have let you drown!"

This line from the movie Ratatouille never fails to make you feel hungry. In this cooked up story, I will help you to make such warming, cotton soft and fluffy bread, encasing a juicy sausage.

The buttery, float away texture of these home-made rolls remind me of the ones that were the pride of several grey-haired ladies who baked for all the school breaks of my childhood. Neatly aproned, and hair braided in a bun, they would stand behind the tuck-shop, selling dozens of rolls, which were whisked straight from the ovens and eaten up quickly by eagerly waiting children. For me what matters is not just the smell of those golden kissed rolls, but the celebration we had every 9 am at school- to run and buy ourselves a roll before the bell rings again for the next hour.

How do you make a sausage roll ? 

Just push it down the hill😂😂. So now you may have guessed today's recipe; the fun-food called pigs in blankets, or sausage rolls. The title I have given is the German name of the dish.

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

1.All-purpose flour- 2 cups

2.Instant yeast – 1 tsp

3.Sugar – ½ tbsp.

4.Salt – tsp

5.Butter – 1 ½ tbsp.

6.Egg – 1

7.Milk – 1 ¾ cup

8.Sausages- 8 pieces

9.Milk for brushing

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Put half the flour and yeast and combine, then add sugar and salt and combine. Then, pour the egg and milk into it and mix completely.

2.Put the remaining half of flour into the bowl and knead until dough becomes elastic.

3.Add butter and knead the dough again until it is soft and smooth. If the dough stretches into a thin sheet without breaking, it is ready.

4.Put the dough into a lightly buttered bowl and cover with a slightly damp cloth. Let it rest till it rises for maybe an hour, depending on room temperature.

5. Once risen, cut the dough into 8 equal parts and roll them into long cylinders.

6. Spin the long dough around the sausage to enclose it.

7.Place them on a pan lined with butter paper and brush with some milk.

8. Preheat oven to 200°C and bake at 180°C for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden.
