Each hostess sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it is better to cook fresh pastries in their own kitchen, rather than buying in the nearest bakery. It seems to many that making dough at home is a very difficult and painstaking job. In fact, even a novice hostess will be able to master the recipe for a bun with sausage in the oven. Today we will tell you in detail how to cook a good yeast dough and treat your household to delicious fragrant buns.
We must say right away that we will cook buns with sausage in the oven, but, if desired, you can use any products in your refrigerator as a filling. This can be minced meat, grated cheese, fruit, jam, etc. The shape and size of buns is at the discretion of the hostess.
Ingredients for the dough
To prepare the dough for buns with sausage in the oven, you need to take the following ingredients:
- 620 g of flour;
- 380 ml of water;
- a pinch of salt;
- one teaspoon of dry yeast;
- one spoon (tablespoon) of granulated sugar;
- 20 g butter.
This is a classic set of products that is most often used for making yeast dough. Some housewives use “living” instead of dry yeast, and sometimes add vanillin or vanilla sugar to the dough.
Using the latest ingredients depends on what type of filling you plan to use for baking buns. If this is a sweet filling (jam, fruits, candied fruits, dried fruits, jam), then the vanilla flavor will be welcome. If the filling is meat, sausages, minced meat and so on, it is better to refrain from using vanillin.
Ingredients for Topping
Since we cook buns with sausage in the oven, therefore, we will put them in the baking dish. Cooking requires about 10 sausages. You can also use mini sausages or sausages.
In addition, you will need to take one chicken egg. It is better if it is an egg from domestic chicken, as it has a brighter and more saturated yolk in color. An egg is needed to grease the pastries before laying them in the oven.
Also, in some recipes, in addition to sausages, cheese is used as a filling. It can be grated on a coarse grater and placed inside the bun, or you can sprinkle it on top, creating a delicious aromatic crust.
Features of making buns with sausage in the oven from yeast dough
First of all, prepare the basis for baking, that is, the dough. To do this, take a small plate. Pour water into it, add yeast, granulated sugar, salt and a little sunflower oil. Gently mix all the ingredients with a fork. Put the plate in a warm place. As soon as a fluffy yeast cap appears on the surface, the mixture can be used.
In a wider and deeper plate, mix the dough and flour. Leave the mixed dough in a plate. Cover the container with a towel and leave for 20-30 minutes. As soon as the dough comes up for the first time (the mass lifted the towel), gently knead it with your hands and leave it again for 20 minutes to come up a second time. After the second raising, the dough can be used.
The work surface is covered with flour a little. We also process the rolling pin with flour so that the dough does not stick to it. We spread the yeast billet on the table and turn it with the help of a jump rope into a large thin circle. Then we cut the circle into several long strips. The width of each strip should not exceed three centimeters.
The second option is to prepare strips of dough. The entire volume must be turned into one large sausage. Then cut it into portions. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and already roll the balls into long hair. Which option to choose is up to you.
Baking Forming Step
When the yeast dough is ready, strips for buns are cut, it is time to start baking. We lay out a strip of dough on the table. Put a sausage on top of it. We begin to gently (diagonally) screw the strip onto the filling. The tips of the sausage can be left without dough.
Now you need to break the egg into a small plate. Separate the yolk. Grease the surface of each bun with it. Gently place the pastries on a baking sheet. It can be covered with parchment paper in advance or greased with a piece of butter. It is important that the pies do not touch each other. Yeast dough tends to expand and increase in size under the influence of high temperature. To prevent the buns from sticking together, place them a little apart from each other.
Cooking buns with sausage in the oven in just 20-25 minutes. The temperature in the oven should not be more than 190 degrees Celsius. If you plan to use cheese to decorate baking, then sprinkle it on top 5 minutes before cooking.
Cheese Buns Inside
If you are planning to cook buns with sausage and cheese in the oven, then the procedure for forming baking will be slightly different than in the first recipe. For cooking, strips of dough will also be used, but when folding, it will be necessary to seal the edges tightly so that the filling does not leak. Cheese can be used as you like. Put it under the sausage. Place on top of the meat filling. Use cheese that has been finely chopped, not slices or slices. You can make buns with several types of cheese. Everything will depend on the desire and imagination of the hostess.
There is advice that experienced cooks give to beginners. If you cook buns in the oven with sausage and cheese, then the meat portion of the filling should be boiled in advance. So you significantly reduce the cooking time of baking.
Yeast Dough Tips
First, cast aside all doubts and adhere strictly to the recipe. Secondly, do not be lazy to use kitchen scales if you do not trust teaspoons and tablespoons. Thirdly, do not put more sugar than indicated in the list of ingredients. Excess sugar can lead to unpleasant consequences.
Fourth, always use warm boiled water to make the dough. In cold water, even the highest quality yeast will not work properly. Fifth, the flour must be sifted so that the dough turns out to be lush and airy. Sixth, you need to knead the dough with your hands. A spoon will never feel the consistency and condition of the baking base.
