Crusty Sausage Filled Bread Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup butter in a food processor. Add flour; pulse until butter is completely mixed. Add remaining butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces remain. Add water evenly until a loose, ragged dough forms. Place dough between 2 pieces waxed paper and roll out into a rectangle. Cut into 3 strips.
• Combine pork sausage, 1 egg, bread crumbs, garlic, and onion powder in a bowl. Add filling to the pastry strips; roll pastry closed around the filling. Refrigerate rolls for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut rolls into 1-inch pieces and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage in small pieces together with the chopped onion (and the mushrooms and red wine, if using) in a skillet until completely brown and cooked through.
• Remove meat and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon and let drain on a plate covered with paper towel. Make sure it's drained well! (You can also put it in a colander and rinse it with hot water to get even more drippings removed from the cooked meat, it you like.).
• When cooled and drained well, place the sausage and onion in a bowl and mix with the eggs, basil, allspice, garlic powder, sage, salt, pepper, mozzarella, and Parmesan (and Tabasco, if using); stir together well.
• On a lightly floured board, set one pound of the pizza dough; sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with flour and roll it out 1/2-inch thick into an approximate 10x12-inch rectangle.
• Leaving a 1 1/2 inch border on the sides of the rectangle, spread half the sausage mixture over the dough.
• Fold in the border of dough and, starting at a narrow end, roll the dough in a"jelly roll" fashion.
• Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet; make the second sausage roll with remaining ingredients and place it on the baking sheet.
• Bake the rolls for 40-45 minutes at 375 degrees until they are crusty and brown; let cool for about five minutes on a wire rack before serving.
• Serve warm on cutting boards, with a knife for cutting and an assortment of good mustards.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt, dried yeast and sugar into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
• Mix in and knead to form a smooth dough, then turn the dough onto a work surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
• Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave it to rise in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
• Punch the dough down in the bowl to knock the air out, and then gradually work in the softened butter a little at a time.
• The dough will now be very sticky to work with, but just continue working on until the butter is blended in evenly.
• Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape the dough into a ball and cut the ball into 16 bits.
• Roll each ball out into a long sausage-shaped roll, and then tie each roll into a knot.
• Place each roll onto a greased baking tray and brush the top of the rolls with the beaten egg.
• Loosely cover the baking sheet with a clingfilm and leave it to rise again in a warm place for about half an hour.
• Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5/375°F/190°C.
• Bake in the centre shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and transfer on to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Weigh out ingredients for starter in your mixing bowl and whisk together. They should be the consistency of pancake batter.
• Measure out the remaining bread flour and place on top of starter.
• Make two little wells in the dry bread flour, add the salt in one and the yeast in the other.
• Place mixing bowl on its stand, cover (loosely with plastic wrap or a lid), and let ferment for 1-2 hours. The yeast will become active during this time.
• Measure out buttermilk and let stand until ready to use.
• After the preliminary ferment, add buttermilk to bowl and mix with a dough hook until a smooth, elastic dough ball is formed, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a greased countertop (olive oil or Pam Spray works well).
• Knead into a ball (1 minute) and place into a dough riser lightly coated with oil. Spray top of dough with oil, cover and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size*.
• Preheat oven with two pizza stones (one per shelf) to 450°F Be sure that the stones and a cookie sheet (bottom shelf) are in the oven when you start pre-heating it.
• Turn bread dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and divide into four pieces. You can make four large loaves at this point or can continue on and divide each dough ball into 8 pieces.
• Form the rolls and place them on 2 sheets of parchment paper that are roughly the same size as your pizza stones (16 rolls/sheet).
• Cover** and let rise for 45 minutes.
• After rising, sprinkle the rolls with flour and slash the tops. ***.
• Place the rolls in the oven using a pizza peel.**** At the same time, put a cup of ice into the cookie sheet to humidify your oven.
• Bake at 425F for 30-35 minutes. If your oven has a convection bake setting, switch to convection for the last 10 minute of baking.
• Cool on wire racks and enjoy!
• *If you are not ready to form the rolls/loaves after the first rise, you can punch the dough down and let it rise again until doubled in size. **I use a plastic storage container that is designed to store things under my bed. It is the perfect size and keeps my dough safe from cats, dogs and other critters. ***A sharp serrated knife works well. ****An inverted cookie tray works in a pinch.
