Sausage rolls

Yesterday I had a day off so I thought of baking sausage roll, which I have not baked for a year or so, since I had Tyler. I was lucky enough that Tyler had been a really good boy, that he gave me an hour and half for me to get the rolls done :) which of course, he must have Elmo on the TV to entertain him.









I got the recipe randomly from the internet, which turned out not bad, it was easy to bake.

Homemade Hot Dog Rolls

- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 1/2 cups flour (unbleached, whole wheat, or a mix)
- 1 package instant yeast
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg, room temperature


- Heat the milk, water, honey and butter until butter is melted. Check temperature. Depending on the temperature, let cool to 120F.
- Carefully beat in egg.Mix 2 cups of the flour, yeast, and salt. Mix into the milk mixture. Stir in the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Beat well after each addition.
- When the dough pulls together, (it will form a soft ball) turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
- This should take about 5 minutes.Divide dough into 12 -16 equal pieces. This will depend on the size you want for the finished bun.
- Shape into smooth balls, flatten slightly, and place on a silpat covered baking sheet.Let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
- When buns have almost doubled bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.If you are making hot dog buns I find it easiest to roll the dough out into a large rectangle and cut into smaller rectangles. Let rise with sides touching.
- You can brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, coarse sea salt, or whatever you like. You can add dry onion soup mix for onion rolls. These are very versatile!Makes 12-16


This recipe could give me 36 mini sausage rolls (cut 1 sausage into half). So, I freeze the un-baked ones in the freezer to be eaten later on.




This is Tyler's first sausage roll! and he loves it :)

With a face like that, all hard work is worth it =D
