Ingredients
- 12 Rhodes yeast dinner rolls frozen dough
- cooking spray
- 12 smoked cheese sausage fully cooked
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp 2% milk
Instructions
- Place 12 frozen dough 2-3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or baking mat. Spray the top of frozen dough with cooking oil and cover with saran wrap. Let it rise for 3.5-4 hours.
- Pre-heat oven to 375ºF.
- Pat dry sausage links. Using a rolling pin, roll one risen dough into a flat rectangular/oval shape. Place one sausage link on one side of the dough.
- Wrap sausage link with dough. Apply pressure to press and seal dough. Place sausage + dough seam side down on a baking sheet line with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Repeat Step 3-4 for the rest of the sausage links and dough balls. Make sure to keep them ~2 inchs apart from each other when placing them on baking sheet - you will probably need two baking sheets.

Notes

- Make sure to always place dough on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Cover dough during the 4 hour and 1 hour rise to avoid drying out dough.
