sausages in dough

 Ingredients: We need: -400 g sausages (thinner) -100 ml oil -150 g flour -100 g cottage cheese -100 g butter -1 large potato -2 eggs -1 pinch of salt -2 tablespoons cumin (you can substitute with grated cheese) -1 tablespoon butter and flour for the tray (you can substitute with baking paper)

To prepare a delicious and filling snack, start by boiling a large potato in lightly salted water. Make sure it is well cooked so that you can peel and mash it easily. Once it has cooled, mash it with a fork or a potato masher until it becomes a fine puree. In a larger bowl, add the cheese of your choice, preferably cottage cheese or telemea, and pass it through a fine sieve to achieve a smooth texture. Mix the cheese with a little salt, a beaten egg, soft butter (at room temperature), and the mashed potato. Then, gradually add the sifted flour, mixing continuously until you obtain a homogeneous dough that comes away from your hands and the bowl. If necessary, you can add a little more flour.

After you have obtained the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dough become firmer and easier to work with. In the meantime, you can prepare some sausages that you will use as filling. Heat oil in a pan and fry the sausages until they are golden and crispy. Once they are ready, let them cool slightly before cutting them into pieces 4-5 cm long.

While the oven preheats, prepare the trays you will use by lining them with baking paper. On the work surface, sprinkle a little flour and roll out the dough into a thick sheet of about 5 mm. Use a knife or a dough cutter to cut the dough into squares. The leftover pieces of dough can be reused, so do not throw them away. Place a piece of sausage on each square of dough, then gather the edges of the dough and seal them well, forming a little package. You can also shape them into little horns, depending on your preferences.

After you have finished filling all the pieces of dough, brush them with a beaten egg to give them a nice color when baked. You can sprinkle caraway seeds or grated cheese on top for added flavor. Place the little packages on the prepared tray and bake them in the preheated oven at a moderate temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and appetizing. These delicious sausage packages can be served warm or cold, making them ideal for a quick snack or to be enjoyed at a gathering with friends. Enjoy your meal!
