Easy Homemade Pigs in a Blanket
Equipment
Ingredients
BREAD DOUGH
FILLINGS
- 8 Hot dogs sausage links
- 1 egg (Egg wash)
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, bring the milk to a warm temperature. It should feel nicely lukewarm. Then mix it with your active dry yeast, sugar and 2 teaspoon of flour in a small bowl. Let it set for about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, mix the flour and salt together for about 1 minute on the lowest speed.
- Then switch the paddle attachment to the dough hook attachment of your stand mixer. Make a well in the center, and add your yeast preparation, yogurt and Vegetable oil. Mix on medium to Medium high for about 15 minutes. Your dough is ready once it holds together and lightly sticks to the sides of the bowl.
- Leave the dough in your stand mixer bowl. Cover with a humid kitchen cloth and let it rise for 1 hour, at room temperature.
- Place your Large bonMAT™ on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
- Wash and pat dry your Hot Dog Links. Set aside.
- Take one ball and roll it into a small rectangle (Length size of your Hot Dog). Leaving 3/4 of the dough on top. Using your Cake Knife, slice your dough all the way down leaving a 1/4"/1cm gap in between. Place your Hot Dog at the top, gently fold the sides and roll the dough all the way. Place it onto your bonMAT™ and repeat until you have used all your dough. Keep each one well apart.
- Let them rise for another hour, at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
- Brush your Pigs in a blanket with the egg wash.
- Bake for 17 minutes at 400F/200C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your breads from 15min)
- Once your Pigs in Blanket are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then, slide them onto a serving board. Serve and Enjoy when ready! Bon Appétit!
