Nutritional benefits

Sausages are a quick source of protein, while the dough provides necessary carbohydrates for energy. However, remember to enjoy this delicacy in moderation, as it is rich in calories from butter and flour. You can make healthier versions using lean meat sausages or whole wheat flour.

Preparation techniques

1. Preparing the sausages: Start by boiling the sausages for a few minutes in boiling water. This step will help maintain the juiciness of the meat and enhance the flavor.

2. Preparing the dough: In a bowl, pour in the warm milk and add the dry yeast. Wait a few minutes until the yeast completely dissolves. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy dough.

3. Mixing the ingredients: Add the melted and warm butter, salt, and egg white. Mix the ingredients well, then start adding flour gradually until you form an elastic dough. If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour.

4. Allowing to rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, about 30 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving an airy texture.

5. Forming the sausages in dough: After the dough has risen, roll it out into a not too thin sheet. Cut it into strips about 2-3 cm wide. Wrap each sausage in the dough, ensuring that the dough is well sealed.

6. Arranging on a tray: Place the wrapped sausages on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

7. Brushing and decorating: In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the 2 tablespoons of milk. Brush each sausage with this mixture and sprinkle with coarse salt and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the sausages for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

9. Serving: Serve them warm, alongside a drinkable yogurt or a fresh green salad for a pleasant contrast of flavors. You can accompany them with various sauces, such as ketchup or mustard, for an extra burst of flavor.

Personalized variation

If you want to experiment, you can add spices like oregano or garlic powder to the dough for a more intense flavor. Additionally, you can replace the sausages with some slices of cheese or vegetables for a vegetarian option.
