Ingredients
Scale
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 12 smoked sausages
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeño slices (optional)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter, egg, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into an oval and place a sausage (and optional cheese/jalapeños) in the center. Fold over and pinch to seal.
- Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Let rest for 15 minutes while oven preheats to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Brush with melted butter while still warm. Serve fresh or reheat as needed.
Notes
- Let dough rise in a warm place for best results.
- Seal seams well to prevent filling from leaking out.
- Try different sausages or add cheese for variety.
