Filling

16-18 sausages

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

First, warm the milk slightly until it reaches a temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm milk.

Next, add the sugar, salt, and one beaten egg. Mix everything together.

Then, gradually add the flour and start kneading the dough. Once it becomes smooth and elastic, incorporate the softened butter in small portions. Knead until the dough is completely smooth.

If necessary, add a little more warm milk until you achieve the desired consistency. Knead for at least 10 minutes for the best texture.

Step 2

Let the Dough Rise

Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover it to prevent drying out, and let it rise for 1.5 to 2 hours in a warm place. If your home is cool, placing the bowl in an oven with just the light on can create an ideal environment.

After about 45-50 minutes, gently punch down the dough to release any trapped air. Your dough should have roughly doubled in size.

Step 3

Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen sufficiently, divide it into equal pieces weighing about 70-75 grams (about 2.5-2.6 ounces) each.

Shape each piece into a ball, cover them with a cloth, and let them rest for about 10 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 4

Wrap the Sausages

Using any of the methods shown in the video, carefully wrap each sausage in the dough.

Place the wrapped sausages onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them again and let them rise for another 30-35 minutes until they puff up.

Step 5

Bake the Sausages

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Brush the risen sausages lightly with a mixture of egg and milk for a beautiful golden color.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delightful sausages in soft dough!

Servings

Picture this: your friends gathered around a picnic table, the sun shining bright, laughter filling the air, and a platter of freshly baked Pastry Hot Dogs in the center. These little bundles of joy are perfect companions for a summer gathering! 🌭✨ Serve them hot out of the oven with an array of dips like sweet mustard, tangy ketchup, or a zesty barbecue sauce for that extra flavor punch! Feeling a bit adventurous? Try adding a sprinkle of cheese inside the pastry for that delightful gooeyness when you take a bite! Pair your hot dogs with sides of crunchy coleslaw or a refreshing salad to balance the meal. 😋 And don’t forget a fun drink to wash it down: homemade lemonade, sweet iced tea, or even a classic soda will bring everything together splendidly. Enjoying your pastry hot dogs never tasted so good! 🍋🥤

Equipment

Baking Sheet

Choose a sturdy baking sheet that can handle the heat of the oven. This will help achieve an even bake and ensure your pastry hot dogs don't stick!

Variations

If you're looking for gluten-free options, don't worry! Simply replace regular wheat flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. This will help you achieve a similar fluffy texture without the gluten! 🍞✨

For a vegan twist, use plant-based butter and a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water) instead of the regular egg. You can also opt for dairy-free milk for the dough, making it completely vegan-friendly! 🌱💚

Faq

  • What do I do if the dough is too sticky?

    Don't be discouraged! If your dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading until it becomes manageable. Just make sure not to add too much flour, or it may turn out dry.

  • How can I tell when my pastry hot dogs are fully baked?

    They should be golden brown on top and make a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of about 200°F for best results!

  • Can I prep the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just bring it back to room temperature before rolling it out!

  • What’s the best way to freeze leftovers?

    Once cooled, wrap individual hot dogs in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months; just reheat them in the oven to bring back the crispiness!

  • How do I make the pastry more flavorful?

    Consider adding spices or herbs to the dough, like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs for extra pizzazz. A sprinkle of salt on top before baking can also enhance the flavors!

  • Can I use different types of sausages?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with all kinds of sausages, from turkey to veggie sausage, to find your perfect match!
