Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Number of Servings: 14 servings (1 sausage per serving)

Ingredients

For the Dough:
- 1 ½ cups of flour
- 2 tablespoons of lard
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of sugar
- Milk (about ½ cup, but adjust as needed)

For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
- 1 teaspoon of oil
- 14 sausages (cut in half)
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Making the Dough

1. Mixing the Ingredients: Start by placing the flour in a large bowl. Add the lard, dry yeast, salt, and sugar. These ingredients will form the base of your dough.

2. Adding the Milk: Begin kneading the mixture, gradually adding the milk. Ideally, add the milk little by little so you can control the dough's consistency. Knead until the dough becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your hands.

3. Resting the Dough: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. This time will allow the yeast to act, and the dough will become fluffier.

Preparing the Sausages

1. Making the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce, mustard, and oil. This paste will add an incredibly delicious layer of flavor.

2. Rolling Out the Dough: After the dough has rested, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until you achieve a sheet about 0.5 cm thick.

3. Cutting Strips: Use a knife or pastry cutter to cut the dough into long strips, about 5 cm wide.

Assembling the Sausages in Dough

1. Applying the Sauce: Spread each strip of dough with the pizza and mustard paste. Make sure each piece is well covered to ensure a rich taste.

2. Adding the Sausages: Place half a sausage at one end of the dough strip and carefully roll it up. Continue doing this with each strip of dough and sausage.

3. Preparing for Baking: Place the obtained rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush each roll with it, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a crunchy and appealing look.

Baking

1. Preheating the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C. It is important to have the oven ready to ensure even baking.

2. Baking the Rolls: Place the tray in the oven and let them bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy. The aroma that will spread throughout the kitchen will make you eagerly await the tasting.

Serving

Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are delicious both warm and at room temperature. You can serve them with various sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or even a spicy sauce for an extra flavor kick.

Variations and Suggestions

- Vary the Filling: Instead of sausages, you can use sausages or even roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Add Spices: You can add dried herbs to the dough, such as oregano or basil, to enhance the flavor.
- Serving Sauces: These rolls pair perfectly with a cold beer or a glass of fresh lemonade.

Nutritional Benefits

Sausages provide a source of protein, and the flour dough can be a source of carbohydrates. Adding sesame seeds brings fiber and minerals. If you want a healthier option, you can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, whole wheat flour can be used, but you will need a larger amount of milk to achieve the same consistency.

2. How long can I keep the rolls? The rolls can be kept for 1-2 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

3. Can they be frozen? Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls, and when you want to serve them, you can bake them directly from the freezer. The baking time will be slightly longer.

Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to get cooking. Sausages in dough are not only a simple recipe but also an excellent way to bring a touch of joy to every meal. Enjoy your meal!
